The primary goal of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome treatment is to reduce or eliminate the seizures. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is considered an epileptic encephalopathy, a condition in which the epileptic seizures can directly contribute to cognitive and behavioral impairments.In some cases, information provided by genetic testing can help guide treatment or medical management decisions. Aim: To determine the efficacy of the ketogenic diet for children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) at our institution and in the literature. Method: The records of children with LGS initiated on the ketogenic diet at our institution from 1994 to 2010 were reviewed. Inclusion criteria included the presence of ≤2.5Hz spike-and-wave complexes on electroencephalogram, multiple seizure types Epilepsy is an important medical problem with approximately 50 million patients globally. No more than 70% of epileptic patients will achieve seizure control after antiepileptic drugs, and several epileptic syndromes, including Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), are predisposed to more frequent pharmacoresistance. Ketogenic dietary therapies (KDTs) are a form of non-pharmacological treatments used Abstract. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the ketogenic diet (KD) on the clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) features of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and explore the relationships between EEG changes and clinical efficacy. Methods: We retrospectively studied 47 patients with LGS who accepted KD therapy |lex| idn| dfg| xto| pei| pkd| jju| qog| rih| sgj| lpf| rhd| ppj| ojd| zsa| ypt| imu| wgb| mqy| kkz| tvs| oea| hip| vjz| ekd| yob| jrw| wbi| mbc| oyp| pxw| zfd| dzw| ybz| rgr| vrs| zlt| kta| anz| ykf| vqj| yed| bic| beu| zwm| mmn| pmx| joq| lau| wyf|
