WEST SYNDROME

Alternate names

WEST SYNDROME Is also known as intellectual disability-hypsarrhythmia syndrome, infantile spasm syndrome, x-linked 1, xmesid, west syndrome, x-linked, ohtahara syndrome, x-linked, infantile spasms, infantile epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy, issx1

Description

West syndrome (or infantile spasms) is characterised by the association of clusters of axial spasms, psychomotor retardation and an hypsarrhythmic interictal EEG pattern. It is the most frequent type of epileptic encephalopathy. It may occur in otherwise healthy infants and in those with abnormal cognitive development.

Most common symptoms of WEST SYNDROME

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Microcephaly
  • Ataxia
