Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, a seizure disorder, has a M&M of between 4% and 7% -- really quite low. The prognosis on the drug-resistant disorder is considered to be unfavorable. And protection of the subject is of paramount importance as the majority of injuries do not originate with the disorder itself, but with trauma that occurs while seizing. As such, care and protection of the Lennox-Gastaut patient can be a 24/7/365 endeavor.
Note that LGS is rare and does not always derive from a common etiology. Make certain that the diagnosis is well-founded.
