  West syndrome, also known as Infantile spasms, is a severe neurological disorder that affects infants and young children, characterized by early onset seizures, usually between 4-7 months of age, which can be flexor, extensor or flexor-extensor spasms, abnormal brain activity seen on an EEG and a poor prognosis for seizure control and intellectual development. The cause of West syndrome can be prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal. It can be classified as symptomatic groups that are considered the consequences of a known or suspected central nervous system disorder. Cryptogenic groups are presumed to be symptomatic, but the etiology is not known. Idiopathic forms, having no underlying cause other than a possible hereditary predisposition, are not recognized for West syndrome in the current International Classification. Other conditions that may be considered in the diagnosis of West syndrome include epilepsy with mental retardation, other epileptic and epileptiform encephalopathies...
