摘要：

We sent questionnaires concerning the current therapy for West syndrome to 208 institutions at which pediatric care members of the Japan Epilepsy Society were working. Of these, 129 (62%) institutions responded. Vitamin B-6 was the preferred first-line drug, followed by the combination of vitamin B-6 and valproate or monotherapy with valproate. Corticotropin was the third choice among the drugs. The dosage of corticotropin was lower than previously reported. The treatment of West syndrome is not well established at present and further research is needed to improve the therapeutic protocol.
