West syndrome is an epileptic syndrome, characterized by a triad of symptoms: infantile spasms, hypsarrhythmia on interictal EEG, and a regression or delay of psycho-motoric development.

Infantile spasms and developmental delay: A case of miller–Dieker syndrome
Background: Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) is a rare genetic disorder, due to contiguous gene deletion on chromosome 17p13.3, characterized by classical type I lissencephaly, severe developmental delay, seizures, cardiac defects, and dysmorphisms.

Interrater reliability in visual identification of interictal high-frequency oscillations on electrocorticography and scalp EEG. [PDF]
High-frequency oscillations (HFOs), including ripples (Rs) and fast ripples (FRs), are promising biomarkers of epileptogenesis, but their clinical utility is limited by the lack of a standardized approach to identification.

Infantile spams without hypsarrhythmia: A study of 16 cases [PDF]
In this study, we present the electroclinical features and evolution of patients with epileptic spasms (ES) in clusters without hypsarrhythmia and with or without focal or generalized paroxysmal discharges on the interictal EEG.

Cerebrospinal fluid corticotropin and cortisol are reduced in infantile spasms. [PDF]
Infantile spasms respond to ACTH, and levels of the hormone in cerebrospinal fluid of untreated infants with this disorder were found to be lower than in age-matched controls. In this study we analyzed cerebrospinal fluid cortisol and ACTH using improved

Network dynamics in the healthy and epileptic developing brain [PDF]
Electroencephalography (EEG) allows recording of cortical activity at high temporal resolution. EEG recordings can be summarised along different dimensions using network-level quantitative measures, e.g.

A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain
