Lennox Gastaut Syndrome

Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a severe pediatric epilepsy syndrome that is characterized by the presence of multiple pharmaco-resistant seizure types, including tonic, atypical absences, and tonic or atonic drop attacks, and the presence of electroencephalographic abnormalities, such as slow-spike waves and paroxysmal fast rhythms.

People with Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome begin having frequent seizures in early childhood, usually between ages 3 and 5. The disease is also a physically dangerous epilepsy syndrome of childhood due to the frequent falls, injuries, and cognitive impairment that can severely restrict the quality of life. Children affected might previously have infantile spasms or underlying brain disorder, but aetiology can be idiopathic also.

Lennox–Gastaut Syndrome causes, generally, is divided into two broader groups, i.e., Identifiable causes and Cryptogenic (non-identifiable) causes. Identifiable causes include brain damage (e.g., head trauma), perinatal complications (e.g., birth asphyxia, intrauterine growth retardation, kernicterus), congenital central nervous system malformations (e.g., tuberous sclerosis), infections (e.g., meningitis, sepsis), or metabolic disorders.
