Long-term outcomes and adaptive behavior in adult patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe form of epilepsy characterized by difficult-to-control seizures and cognitive dysfunction. Previous studies mainly focused on pediatric populations, and little is known about the long-term cognitive outcome in adult patients with LGS. The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term functional and adaptive behavior in adult patients with LGS.
