Infantile spasms

A rare epilepsy syndrome characterized by onset of epileptic spasms in infants between 2 and 12 months of age, and rarely up to 24 months.

The classical triad of epileptic spasms, hypsarrhythmia and developmental stagnation or regression is historically referred to as West syndrome.
