Abstrakt: Thirty patients with the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome presenting one or more status epilepticus (the first before age 15) were studied. Triggering factors, semiology, duration, severity and EEG features were considered. A comparison was made between this group of patients and another group having the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome but without status. No significant difference appears in the long-term prognosis, even when status were prolonged. Only three patients died during a status. For this reason the authors recommend prudence and avoidance of very strong treatment. In their experience, intravenous diazepines, intravenous phenytoin and intramuscular ACTH were the most effective drugs.
