FIGURE 1
EEG of a child with West syndrome/infantile spasms. Infantile spasms are coupled to a characteristic age-dependent EEG pattern called hypsarrythmia. The pattern consists of chaotic spikes, polyspikes and slow waves, interspersed with burst-suppression periods (see arrow). (Reproduced with permission from Freeman JM.
