Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe form of childhood onset epileptic encephalopathy characterized by multiple drug-resistant seizures, cognitive impairment, and diffuse slow spike and wave (SSW), and generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) on electroencephalogram (EEG). Systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines was done to investigate EEG findings in LGS. PubMed and MEDLINE were systematically searched for English-language studies published until15th may 2023.

Background: Vitamin C deficiency, or scurvy, is rare but poses risks for children with poor diets, limited resources, or malabsorption issues. It may also be common in children with restrictive or selective dietary habits in children with global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, and physical disabilities. Symptoms include fatigue, irritability, joint and muscle pain, joint swellings, edema, swollen gums, easy bruising, and delayed wound healing.

Electronic address:
Introduction: Lennox Gastaut syndrome (LGS) can be conceptualised as a "secondary network epilepsy", in which the shared electroclinical manifestations reflect epileptic recruitment of a common brain network, despite a range of underlying aetiologies. We aimed to identify the key networks recruited by the epileptic process of LGS using interictal 2-deoxy-2-(F)fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET).
Methods: Group analysis of cerebral F-FDG-PET, comparing 21 patients with LGS (mean age = 15 years) and 18 pseudo-controls (mean age = 19 years), studied at Austin Health Melbourne, between 2004 and 2015.

Background: To study surgical outcomes in pharmaco-resistant epilepsy associated with posterior cortex ulegyria secondary to perinatal insults.
Methods: A cohort was analysed for clinico-radiological charectaristics, surgical interventions and seizure outcomes.
Observations: A total of 38 patients underwent surgery, divided as group A - curative surgeries (n = 20) and group B - palliative surgeries (n = 18).
