The Epilepsy Foundation is pleased to announce its first annual Targeted Research Initiative for Severe Symptomatic Epilepsies grant program. This program seeks to better understand, diagnose, identify co morbidities, and treat these rare but devastating epilepsy syndromes. The catastrophic epilepsies of childhood commonly include Othara's syndrome, severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (Dravet), infantile spasm, progressive myoclonic epilepsies, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Doose syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Rasmussen encephalitis and, in later childhood, Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS) and continuous spike and wave in slow-wave sleep (CSWSS).
