Long-term mechanical ventilation in infants with neuromuscular disease.

abstract：:The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of corticotropin (ACTH) versus vigabatrin in treating infantile spasms and to determine which medication has a more favorable long-term outcome in terms of cognitive function, evolution of epilepsy, and incidence of autism. Patients with infantile spasms were inc...
