摘要：

A 5-year-old girl with Landau-Kleffner syndrome is discussed. The child began having seizures at age 4 associated with language deterioration despite anticonvulsant therapy. With levetiracetam monotherapy to a dose of 60 mg/kg/day and discontinuation of carbamazepine and valproic acid, her language has improved and seizures are controlled. Levetiracetam should be considered as therapy for Landau-Kleffner syndrome. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
