Epileptic spasms is an uncommon-to-rare epileptic disorder in infants and children. It is also known as the West syndrome. The syndrome is age-related, generally occurring between the third and the twelfth month, commonly establishing around the fifth month. The disorder is characterized by brief, sudden muscle contractions or spasms, which can have serious developmental and cognitive consequences if not treated promptly. There are various causes.
