Epidemiology of West syndrome in Singapore
Brain and Development, 2001The incidence of West syndrome (WS) was determined by a search of reports of electroencephalograms (EEG) recorded in 1998 and 1999 in all public hospitals in Singapore. Amongst records of patients born in 1998, nine were found with EEG features of hypsarrhythmia or modified hypsarrhythmia with onset of seizures between January 1,1998 and December 31 ...

PERIVENTRICULAR LEUKOMALACIA AND WEST SYNDROME
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1996SUMMARYThe authors studied the clinical course and electroencephalograms (ÉEGs) of 27 patients with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), to investigate the relation betwéen PVL and West syndrome. Seven of the 27 patients with PVL developed WS; in all seven the PVL was severe. Bilateral parieto‐occipital dominant irregular polyspike‐and‐wave (PO‐polySpW)

Brain and Development, 2001
The combination of axial spasms in clusters, hypsarrhythmia, and psychomotor delay beginning in the first year of life defines West syndrome. Variants of this classical triad comprise variations of age of onset ranging from the first month to 4 years, spasms that may be asymmetrical or combined with focal seizures, asymmetrical, synchronous or ...

The exact incidence of West’s syndrome is difficult to determine, as it merges with other types of epilepsy, of which there are many. It is only when specific tests are carried out, and the results added to the typical clinical signs, that this syndrome can be distinguished.

Many cases of West's syndrome are inoperable, because there is no clear epileptic focus. In some cases, however, there is a structural abnormality which can be surgically removed. Dr. Hoffman discusses his experience with surgery for cortical dysplasia in West's syndrome.

Immunoglobulin therapy in the West syndrome
Brain and Development, 1987An examination was made of high dose non-treated immunoglobulin (NTIG) therapy at an early stage of the West syndrome (WS). Six patients with cryptogenic WS who suffered attacks ranging from 15 days to 6 months (mean 70 days) and 5 patients with symptomatic WS who suffered attacks ranging from 14 days to 4 months (mean 32 days), were administered NTIG ...

Familial Idiopathic West Syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Child Neurology, 2000 Two families, each with occurrence of West syndrome in two siblings, are presented. Monozygotic twins in family 1 developed infantile spasms at the age of 4 months. Two female siblings in family 2 started to have seizures at the age of 6 months, but 2 years apart.

Induced microseizures in West syndrome
Brain and Development, 1991Induced microseizures (IMS) were observed in a 5-month-old girl with symptomatic West syndrome. The seizures occurred following the suppression of infantile spasms with adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy and disappeared following the cessation of clonazepam administration.
