Thank you for visiting Living with Epilepsy.com If you visited our site in the past,
we hope you were helped by the information we offered.
In its place, we now are pleased to offer Living with LGS. LGS stands for Lennox-Gastuat
syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy, with seizures usually beginning before 5 years
of age. LGS accounts for up to 4% of childhood epilepsies, and occurs slightly
more often in boys than girls. Unfortunately, this epilepsy syndrome usually persists
through childhood and adolescence to adult years. The prognosis for individuals
with LGS varies. While many new treatments exist, there is no cure.
We’re dedicated to helping LGS families find support and helpful information about
the syndrome. Please visit our site at
www.livingwithlgs.com. For an informational video series about coping with
LGS and offering practical advice, watch
Navigating the Storm. You can also
register for more information about LGS and a medication for seizures
associated with LGS.
Thanks for visiting.
