About Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome:
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a rare and severe form of
childhood-onset epilepsy which commonly persists into adulthood. It is
characterized by frequent seizures, multiple seizure types, a resistance to
medication and/or therapies, behavior disturbances and moderate to
severe cognitive dysfunction. Although there is no cure for LGS, it is our
hope that new treatment options will become available and will help
improve the overall outcome and quality of life for all patients living with
this disorder.
