Treatment in epileptic encephalopathy with ESES and Landau–Kleffner syndrome; [Behandlung bei epileptischer Enzephalopathie mit ESES und Landau-Kleffner Syndrom]

Epileptic encephalopathy with electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES) is an age-related syndrome with acquired neurodevelopmental deficits in relation to epilepsy with many seizure types. Early and accurate treatment is aimed at prevention or reduction of associated cognitive deficits and, to a lesser extent, control seizures. Evidence for an optimal treatment strategy is still lacking. Here, we review the current literature on treatment efficacy in patients with epileptic encephalopathy with ESES. © 2019, Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.
