William James West, was an English surgeon and apothecary, who among other things took a prominent role in the local movement of reform of medical practice. He published in 1837 the first article referred to an ovariectomy performed in England and first described the picture of a kind of infantile spasm (present in his own son, James Edwin West) in an article published by The Lancet in 1841. Today, this syndrome is typically characterized by three findings: epileptic spasms, psychomotor retardation and electroencephalogram with a characteristic layout of hypsarrhythmia, although one of the three may not appear.

  • William James West (* 1793; † 1848) war ein englischer Arzt und Chirurg, der in Tonbridge (Grafschaft Kent) lebte. Nach ihm wurde das West-Syndrom, eine besondere Form von Epilepsie im Säuglings-/Kleinkindalter, benannt. Er beobachtete die Anfälle im Jahre 1841 bei seinem damals etwa vier Monate alten Sohn und beschrieb sie auch unter wissenschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten. West suchte den Rat von Charles Mansfield Clarke (1782–1857) und (1799–1875), ohne jedoch Hilfe zu finden. Clarke prägte seinerzeit den Ausdruck Salaam-Tic für die Krampfanfälle. (de)
