Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS) is a rare childhood disorder characterized by the sudden loss of language skills and the development of seizures. Typically occurring between the ages of 2 and 7, children with LKS initially develop normal language abilities but may experience a regression in these skills, leading to difficulties in understanding and producing spoken language. This loss of language can be accompanied by behavioral changes, including frustration and social withdrawal. The seizures associated with LKS can vary in type and severity. Treatment often involves antiepileptic medications, speech therapy, and educational support to help improve communication skills and manage seizures. Early intervention is crucial for optimal outcomes.
