Abstract

West’s syndrome is a severe epileptic syndrome. It occurs in infants under one year old. It may be symptomatic or of unknown aetiology. Today classified among the epileptic syndromes of the infant [1], West’s syndrome has a bad outcome for epileptic seizures as well as for the psychomotor development of the victims. Even in its structural form, aetiological diagnosis remains difficult, especially in a context of poor technical plateform [2].
