Role of pediatric dentist in West syndrome rehabilitation: A case report.
Aim: West syndrome is characterized by a triad of infantile spasms, arrested psychomotor development, and pronounced paroxysmal electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, notably hypsarrhythmia. This case report aims to discuss the various considerations and strategies for the dental management of a child with West syndrome.
Method and result: This report focuses on a case of a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with West Syndrome who presented for her first dental visit with complaints of pain and swelling in the right posterior tooth region for the past three weeks. Due to frequent seizure episodes, neuropsychomotor delay, and multiple dental treatment needs, comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation was performed under general anesthesia.
Conclusion: Awareness of syndromes like West syndrome equips dentists to better manage children with complex conditions. Additionally, parental counselling and early preventive measures can significantly reduce the added burden of dental diseases in these patients.
