Although the link between vigabatrin (VGB) and retinotoxicity is well known, little attention has been focused on the risk of VGB‐associated brain abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (VABAM), namely reversible—and largely asymptomatic—signal changes in the thalami, basal ganglia, brainstem tegmentum, and cerebellar nuclei. Using a large infantile spasms cohort, we set out...
Vigabatrin (VGB) is one of two FDA-approved medications for treatment of infantile spasms. Despite demonstrated efficacy, its use has been curtailed by reports indicating a substantial risk of VGB-associated visual field loss (VAVFL). As these reports have conflicted with our clinical observations in routine practice, we systematically reviewed the experiences of patients treated with VGB at UCLA...
