The Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LG) is an epileptic encephalopathy of childhood characterized by frequent intractable seizures, mental retardation and characteristic electroencephalogram. It accounts for 5-10% of convulsive disorders of childhood and is more common in male children.

Keywords : Lennox-Gastaut syndrome; seizures; xerostomia; bruxism; scars.
