ABSTRACT
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies are conditions where there is developmental impairment related to both the underlying etiology independent of epileptiform activity and the epileptic encephalopathy. Usually they have multiple etiologies. Therefore, long-term outcome is related to both etiology-related factors and epilepsy-related factors-age at onset of epilepsy, type(s) of seizure(s), type of electroencephalographic abnormalities, duration of the epileptic disorder. This paper focuses on long-term outcome of six developmental and epileptic encephalopathies with onset from the neonatal period to childhood early epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts, West syndrome, Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, epilepsy with myoclonic atonic seizures and epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike and waves during slow-wave sleep including Landau-Kleffner syndrome. For each syndrome, definition, main etiologies if multiple, and long-term outcome are discussed.
