Abstract
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a pharmacoresistant epileptic encephalopathy. Herein reported is a case of LGS that combination therapy with levetiracetam, lamotrigine and valproate culminated in control of all seizure types and resolution of epileptic discharges in electroencephalography. This case indicates that logical combination therapy may provide seizure control and improvement of electroencephalographic pattern in patients with LGS even in cases at which epileptic surgery fails.
