PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are seizure disorders that often start in infancy, are often drug-resistant, and are associated with seizures of long duration and major developmental delays or loss of developmental skills entirely. These conditions, while rare, are challenging to diagnose and effectively treat. In this CME program, we will address gaps in the prompt diagnosis and management of specific forms of DEEs, provide tips for adequate diagnostic assessment of DEEs and strategies to improve diagnostic work-up, and describe strategies to enhance transitions of care for patients with DEEs.
