West Syndrome (WS) is age-related epileptic encephalopathy characterised by a triad of symptoms: specific seizure type, pathognomonic electroencephalographic (EEG) pattern--hypsarrhythmia and delay and/or regression in psychomotor development (PMD). Aetiologically, it occurs in three forms: symptomatic, cryptogenic and idiopathic.
