The article is a review of contemporary knowledge of the so-called West syndrome. It deals with the definition, aetiology, clinical aspects, therapy and prognosis of this disease. In addition to the clinical picture of West's syndrome the author describes also recently described units which may fuse with this syndrome or mutually. The author deals on purpose in more detail with treatment of West's syndrome, in particular steroid administration (specially ACTH and its synthetic derivatives) as among our neurologists there are still very controversial views as regards indication and control of steroid treatment, sometimes associated with certain not always rational prejudices.
本文是对所谓韦斯特综合征当代知识的综述。它涉及该疾病的定义、病因、临床症状、治疗和预后。除了韦斯特综合征的临床表现外，作者还描述了最近发现的可能与该综合征合并或相互关联的病症。作者特意更详细地探讨了韦斯特综合征的治疗，尤其是类固醇给药（特别是促肾上腺皮质激素及其合成衍生物），因为在我们神经科医生中，关于类固醇治疗的适应症和控制仍存在非常有争议的观点，有时还伴随着某些并非总是合理的偏见。
