Dravet Syndrome is a severe form of epilepsy that is characterized by frequent, prolonged seizures often triggered by high body temperature (hyperthermia), developmental delay, speech impairment, ataxia, hypotonia, sleep disturbances, and other health problems.
Three stages are usually identified in association with Dravet Syndrome with "febrile stage" being the first among them, "worsening stage" follows between 1 and 5 years of age, and "stabilization stage" begins by the end of the first decade in which seizures are less frequent.
The disease's Signs and Symptoms involve seizures, ataxia (balance problems), motor impairment, cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, infections, bone problems, and heart rhythm irregularities.
