Medical Definition of Lennox-gastaut syndrome

1. A severe form of epilepsy that usually begins in early childhood and is characterised by frequent seizures of multiple types, mental impairment, and a particular brain wave pattern (a slow spike-and-wave pattern). The seizures that are notoriously hard to treat and may lead to falls and injuries can be reduced in frequency by treatment with lamotrigone, a chemically novel antiepileptic drug. The syndrome is named for w.g. Lennox and h. Gastaut who described it. (12 Dec 1998)
