Does Etiology and Hypsarrhythmia Subtype Influence Outcome in West Syndrome? Challenges Encountered from a Referral Center Perspective.

Background: Prediction of outcome of West syndrome (WS) in relation to etiology and electrophysiology remain pertinent challenges.

Objective: This study aimed to compare electro-clinical and imaging characteristics between WS of "unknown-etiology"; "symptomatic"WS; to gauge the evolution and impact of electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns on seizure outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Electro-clinico-radiological data of 76 children with WS who were followed up for atleast 1 year was collected for reviewing clinical, therapeutic and EEG profiles (sub-typed as typical and modified hypsarrhythmia [HA]).

Chiari I Malformation Associated with Turner Syndrome.

Turner syndrome (TS) is a rare genetic disease due to the absence of one X chromosome. Patients with TS have more subtle neurological/neuropsychiatric problems, while headache is an uncommon clinical presentation which needs attention. We report a 12-year-old child presenting with typical cough headache.
