West Syndrome
Sunday December 28, 2008
West syndrome is a form of seizure disorder (epilepsy) that begins in infancy. A specific type of seizure called infantile spasm is part of this syndrome. West syndrome accounts for 2% of epilepsies in childhood, but 25% of epilepsy that begins in the first year of life. Almost any condition that can cause brain damage can cause West syndrome.
