Epilepsy Miniseries (Part 5)
Epilepsy Miniseries (Part 5): Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are well-recognised in paediatric practice but often remain undiagnosed in adult neurology. Advances in genetic testing now provide opportunities for formal diagnosis and tailored treatments, even in adult patients.
In this interview, we explore the hallmark clinical features of DEEs, key considerations for genetic testing, and strategies to address the complex needs of these patients.
Learn how to optimise care for adults living with DEEs and integrate new diagnostic tools into practice.
