Suggest Treatment For Landau Kleffner Syndrome In 8 Year Old
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Treatments for this condition include: -anti-seizure medication(as he has been receiving). Prednisone improves seizures and language skills. -A relatively new surgical approach is called, Multiple Subpial Transections. The (pediatric)neurosurgeon makes many small cuts into the brain s outer layer. This has helped a small number of children and is under evaluation. -Speech therapy. -Sign language. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
