**Aicardi syndrome has no cure, but treatment helps control seizures, support development, and manage other health problems.**
Your child's care plan depends on their seizure types, developmental needs, vision, and feeding difficulties. A pediatric neurologist selects seizure treatment and adjusts it when seizures continue or side effects occur. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies can support movement, daily activities, and communication. Keep a record of seizures and medication effects, and bring feeding or vision changes to your child's care team.
How Aicardi syndrome is managed
Common questions
How is Aicardi syndrome treated?
Aicardi syndrome has no cure; care focuses on controlling seizures and supporting your child's development and comfort. A pediatric neurologist chooses medicines for infantile spasms or other seizures, which can be difficult to control. Your child may need physical, occupational, and speech therapies, eye care, and help with feeding or digestive problems. Treatment choices require your child's specialist. Give medicines as prescribed, track seizures and side effects, and ask for a written seizure action plan. Seek emergency care for a first seizure or new infantile spasms.
