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.

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.

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.

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.

Intracranial tumors and West syndrome
Pediatric Neurology, 1989Two infants, 6 and 7 months of age, are reported with both West syndrome and cerebral tumors. In both patients, initial neurologic examinations were normal and tumor diagnoses were determined through routine imaging studies. Initial response to adrenocorticotrophic hormone treatment did not differ from that observed in patients with cryptogenic West ...

Surgical treatment of West syndrome
Brain and Development, 2001The discovery of focal or multifocal cortical lesions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in the majority of infants with West syndrome has led to a surgical approach in the treatment of some patients with intractable infantile spasms.

Pyretotherapy as Treatment in West's Syndrome
Clinical Electroencephalography, 1984Four cases of West's syndrome (generalized myoclonic spasms, arrest of psychomotor development and hypsarrhythmia) which were found to be resistant to the classical treatment (ACTH, prednisone, nitrazepam, clonazepam, etc.) are reported. In these cases, high fever (pyretotherapy) induced by TBA vaccine (typhoid and paratyphoid) was used.

Neuroradiologic aspects of West syndrome
Pediatric Neurology, 1998Cranial computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or both, of 143 patients with West syndrome were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-four children had normal CT scans. The most striking findings on pathologic scans were cerebral atrophy, ventricular enlargement, and encephalomalacia.

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 ...
