Lennox Gastaut Syndrome

Taxonomy Code: YF-3000.4590

Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome is usually seen in children between the ages of two and six with brain development problems or acquired brain damage. Children with this syndrome generally have developmental delays and show a distinctive electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern with slow spike and waves and associated seizure types include atonic, tonic, tonic-clonic and atypical absence seizures. Because atonic seizures cause children to fall to the ground, many children wear helmets to protect their teeth and face. Management can be challenging and can include anticonvulsant medications, nerve stimulation and certain types of diet therapy. There is no known cause.
