Abstract
A Japanese boy with Kabuki make-up syndrome associated with West syndr ome is reported. He developed periodic tonic spasms at 6 months of age while his electro-encephalogram also revealed hypsarrhythmia. Althoug h only a few previously reported cases of Kabuki make-up syndrome have been associated with epilepsy, it is likely that epileptic seizures a re another primary feature of Kabuki make-up syndrome.
