Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) make up a diverse range of conditions that generally present with epileptic seizures and electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities. DEEs significantly impact children and adults living with the condition, as well as their caregivers. Patients and caregivers are frequently burdened by challenges associated with diagnostic delay, missed diagnoses, disparities which present as barriers to timely treatment, and long-term caregiving. Further complicating diagnosis, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) may have variable presentations that change over time. To optimize care for patients with DEEs such as LGS, clinicians must utilize collaborative care practices that include long-term care discussions alongside the multidisciplinary care team. This care team may include DEEs/LGS experts, pediatricians, primary care practitioners or internists, nurses, and other health care professionals. In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will walk learners through a real-world case and review unmet needs that persist for patients and caregivers. By identifying the impact of DEEs on patients and using real-world evidence to individualize treatment plans for patients with LGS, a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to therapeutic decision-making can be realized.
