Landau-Kleffner Syndrome

Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS) is a rare neurological disorder that typically affects children between the ages of 3 and 7. It involves the sudden loss of language skills, usually following normal development, and is often associated with epilepsy. Children with LKS may experience seizures, difficulty understanding language, and challenges in communication despite normal hearing. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but it is believed to involve abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Treatment may include medications for seizures and speech therapy to help regain communication abilities, although recovery can vary among individuals.
