Seventeen term and near-term infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) were studied at Okazaki City Hospital and other centers in Japan to clarify the relationship between prolonged depression of the EEG and later development of West syndrome (WS)
Prolonged depression of EEG over 21 days of age in term infants with HIE is a predictor of later development of WS
Summary
Pediatric Neurology Briefs 2011 development of WS, were not precursors of hypsarrhythmia. Several reports of seizure remission following viral infection have involved patients with West syndrome, and some cases have a spontaneous remission. Among cases of viral-induced remission of epilepsy, exanthem subitum and human herpes virus-6 appear to be involved most commonly, and West syndrome is the most susceptible epilepsy.
