West syndrome is one of the most refractory epileptic syndromes in infancy, and many researchers have made great effort to find optimal treatment modalities for this syndrome. In this review, previous literature on optimal treatments of West syndrome and its refractory nature were briefly presented, followed by an introduction of recent publication of ...

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.

West's syndrome (infantile spasms) can be considered the classic disorder of the catastrophic childhood epilepsies. Although West's syndrome was identified 160 years ago, it is still not fully understood today. Because of the multiple etiologies associated with West's syndrome, the evaluation and treatment of the disease are complex, and, to date ...

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.

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)
