West syndrome, also known as infantile spasm syndrome or Christian syndrome, is a rare but serious condition that presents with epileptic seizures in the form of spasms in young children. It usually occurs between 3 and 12 months of age and is associated with characteristic clinical symptoms: sudden and sharp flexion spasms of the limbs, which often occur in group attacks. These spasms may occur in the form of so-called "keramones", when flexion movements occur throughout the body. West syndrome is often accompanied by characteristic changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG), which serves as a key diagnostic aspect, and may also precede the development of other severe forms of epilepsy. An important aspect is that the syndrome has a high probability of developing secondary neurological disorders.<\/p>\n
