Clinical Characteristics of New-onset Epilepsy in Patients with Down Syndrome and Dementia (P7.037)

CONCLUSIONS: New onset epilepsy seems to occur early in the course of dementia in DS patients. It is unclear if epilepsy has a role in dementia progression. Treatment response was generally good except for epileptic myoclonus. Future studies are needed to study patients with DS and dementia, with and without epilepsy and investigate the interplay between Alzheimer’s dementia pathology.Disclosure: Dr. Gholipour has nothing to disclose.
