摘要: We report three typical cases of Landau-Kleffner syndrome with varied courses. The very frequent discharges in sleep EEGs, often showing the patterns CSWS (continuous spike-waves during slow-wave sleep), either (spike-wave complex occupying over 85% duration) or atypical (spike-waves less than were presented all our cases. seems correlated aphasia Since disappearance might be indicative a lagged improvement aphasia, we suggest that sufficiently long-term treatment anticonvulsants and/or corticosteroids is worthwhile, if EEG improved significantly by this treatment.
