Seizure Types in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome

Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a severe form of epilepsy that typically begins in childhood. It is characterized by a variety of seizure types, including tonic seizures (stiffening of the body), atonic seizures (sudden loss of muscle tone, causing falls), atypical absence seizures (brief lapses in awareness), and myoclonic seizures (sudden, brief jerking movements). These seizures can vary in frequency and severity and may not respond well to treatment, leading to significant challenges in daily life for those affected. Early diagnosis and comprehensive management are crucial for improving outcomes.
