Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We examine the long-term consequences of West syndrome (WS) on 109 patients with a mean follow-up duration of 8 years. • Poor prognostic factors are etiology, early seizures and developmental involvement. • The full-blown picture of WS stabilizes by age 5. Approximately 1/3 of the patients are severely debilitated in the long-run. • Two-thirds of patients can cope with the daily life; 8% is normal.
