📋Overview
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome is a complex epileptic encephalopathy that typically begins during early childhood. This condition is defined by a combination of frequent, diverse seizures and developmental delays that often impact cognitive function and behavior.
Clinical diagnosis often relies on the observation of a distinctive slow spike-and-wave pattern on an electroencephalogram. While it is categorized as a single syndrome, it represents a spectrum of neurological challenges rather than a single underlying disease.
