Abstract
A 17-month-old child had typical infantile spasms (IS) in association with a frontal lobe tumor. EEG showed hypsarrythmia, and typical IS we re documented by video-EEG monitoring (no focal features were identifi ed). Seizures ceased after surgical removal of the tumor, a gangliogli oma. We investigated the role of surgery in infants with West syndrome (WS) and lesions of various types.
