概要
Dravet syndrome is a form of epilepsy, beginning in early infancy and characterized by repeated long-term seizures that respond poorly to common antiepileptic treatment. In this case report we describe a case of two twin boys, who developed drug-resistant severe seizures at the age of five months. A SNC1A mutation was found, and the twins were diagnosed with Dravet syndrome. Before relevant treatment was initialized the twins had several cases of status epilepticus. The twins responded well to treatment with stiripentol.
