## Abstract Previous studies have indicated increased immunoreactivity of the endogenous opioid peptide β‐endorphin in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of infants under 2 years of age with apnea. To assess the role of endogeneous opioids in the pathogenesis of apnea in children, the effect of oral tre

We report a 3-month-old female with infantile spasms that responded transiently to pyridoxine and permanently to oral L-dopa. Initial CSF levels of homovanillic acid were low, suggesting disturbed turnover of dopamine. These findings suggest that disturbed brain monoamine metabolism may be causally
