About this study
The purpose of this study is to collect medical information from a group of infants in order to better understand West syndrome. EEG tests are usually ordered when infants have movements that look like seizures or infantile spasms. If there is hypsarhythmia, then the doctors know to give the specific treatment for West syndrome. We would like to see if there is EEG pattern that is always present even before the infantile spasms start and West syndrome diagnosed.
