Dravet Syndrome

Dravet Syndrome is a severe form of epilepsy that typically begins in infancy. It is characterized by frequent and prolonged seizures, which can be triggered by factors like fever or stress. Children with Dravet Syndrome often experience developmental delays and may have behavioral challenges. The condition is caused by mutations in a specific gene, and while there is no cure, treatments like medications and dietary changes can help manage seizures. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to improve outcomes and quality of life for those affected.
