What is the difference between Immature Nervous System and West's Syndrome?

Question

What is the difference and how can it be diagnosed?

I understand what West's syndrome is, my child has spasm in his arms and legs numerous times a day and we were told at birth that it was just an Immature Nervous System. I think it's West's Syndrome after researching, we are going for the EEG on monday, we had a CT scan that was normal already.

Mental retardation is associated in most cases. EEG shows hypsarrhythmia. There is a propensity to infections with a high mortality due to bronchopneumonia.
