Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type I is an autosomal dominant genetic disease, which is rare in clinical reports with infantile spasm as the initial symptom, and most of them are assisted by gene detection in clinical diagnosis, but the effect of conventional antiepileptic drugs is not obvious. After using vigabatrin, the spasm disappeared and the prognosis was better.Keywords
