The adult perspective
Transitioning from pediatric to adult care for patients with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome presents unique challenges. Adult neurologists face issues like therapeutic nihilism and overtreatment. A multidisciplinary approach and understanding genetics are crucial for effective management. Case studies highlight the complexities involved, emphasizing the need for adult neurologists to be well-versed in pediatric treatments and the specific needs of transitioning patients. Improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are essential.Speaker: Bernhard J. Steinhoff
