Illuminating Lennox-Gastaut syndrome

For National Epilepsy Awareness Month, Dr Nicola Davies shines a light on a rare form of epilepsy – Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).

What is LGS?

LGS is a severe and rare form of childhood-onset epilepsy, typically presenting in children aged 3-5 years. The condition is slightly more common in males than females and can persist into adulthood. While the long-term prognosis of the disease varies, complete seizure control and normal development is rare.
