  West syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West syndrome, otherwise known as infantile spasms, is an uncommon to rare and serious form of epilepsy in infants.
The syndrome is age-related, generally occurring between the third and the twelfth month, generally manifesting around the fifth month.
The syndrome is often caused by an organic brain dysfunction whose origins may be prenatal, perinatal (caused during birth) or postnatal.

 Charles Foix (www.whonamedit.com)
Syndrome of trigeminal neuralgia, oculomotor paralysis, XIIth nerve paralysis and ophthalmoplegia.
Foix’ main approach, using a vast material gathered at the Salpêtrière and Ivry, was to relate thrombosis of specific arteries at autopsies with symptoms and signs that he had established in his patients and he wrote a book on the blood supply and the anatomy of the brain.
Foix and his colleagues showed that the specific lesions in Parkinson’s disease is in the substantia nigra of the mid-brain.

We speculate that a neuromuscular disorder is the underlying pathogenesis of Escobar syndrome.
The syndrome, which is present at birth, is expressed mainly by flexion contractures at the knees and elbows, with muscle hypotrophy/weakness around the involved joints.
The lethal congenital contracture syndrome (LCCS) is an autosomal recessive syndrome (McKusick 253310) leading to perinatal death owing to early onset degeneration of the anterior horn motor neurones of the spinal cord.

Differential diagnosis included Pena-Shokeir syndrome or phenotype, Gordon syndrome, Marden-Walker syndrome, and the syndrome of arthrogryposis with ophthalmoplegia and retinopathy.

 Sindrome opercular anterior como manifestacion de estado epileptico no convulsivo.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
INTRODUCTION: Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome, or bilateral anterior opercular syndrome, is characterised by facio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory diplegia with 'automatic-voluntary dissociation', which consists in the abolition of voluntary movements while involuntary movements and reflexes are preserved.
It is produced by bilateral involvement of the anterior or frontal opercular region.
We believe that we are dealing with a bilateral anterior opercular syndrome due to a non-convulsive epileptic state, compatible with the presentation of benign rolandic epilepsy.

 Linguistic and other Psychological Aspects of Paroxysmal Aphasia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The discussion bears on four main points : the linguistic characteristics of paroxysmal aphasia as compared to those of aphasias of other etiologies; Pierre Marie's oneness doctrine of aphasia; the mutual relationships of language and thought (in aphasia); the affective experience lived by one with severe aphasia, with special reference to the notion of anosognosia.
Now, Marie is explicit as to aphasia and Wenicke's aphasia being absolute synonyms in his terminology : "L'aphasie de Broca, c'est l'aphasie de Wernicke avec la parole en moins" (Marie, 1906).
But then, what Marie meant by "anarthria" is not readily apparent although the word itself is quite clear (etymologically).

This disorder of neuronal migration appears to occur no later than the fourth to fifth months of gestation, i.e., in the final phase of neuronal migration for cortical development.
The condition was originally recognized due to its similarity to the acquired syndrome of fasciopharyngoglossomasticatory diplegia resulting from bilateral infarction of the anterior operculum described by Foix, Chavany and Marie in 1926.

Furthermore, the characterisation of difficult stroke syndromes which may not be obvious when using CT scanning due to the small size of the pathology or the multiplicity of abnormality is important to be analysed by MRI.
With MRI it has been possible to characterise many well-known neurological syndromes and demonstrate the pathology and spectrum of underlying tissue changes, which may create such abnormalities.
Examples for this would be the Foix-Marie-Chavany syndrome, internuclear opthalmoplegia in MS, transient global amnesia, posterior reversible leukencephalopathy, limbic encephalitis, optic neuropathies and Creuzfeldt Jakob disease.

However, forms that are secondary to infections, neoplasias and even unilateral lesions have been reported.
