Abstract:
We report the case of a 3 month old female with a diagnosis of Reye Syndrome, confirmed with laboratory exams. Three months after apparently recovering from the acute clinical picture, the patient developed massive spasms and psychomotor delay with an EEG tracing typical of hypsarrythmia, the classic triade which suggests West Syndrome.
