Learning Objectives The age of precision medicine is upon us. For some of the more challenging pediatric epilepsy syndromes such as tuberous sclerosis, Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet, there are now medications that are specifically approved to treat the seizures associated with them. Participants should be able to recognize syndrome-specific treatments, as well as potential risks for some of the most refractory epilepsies in pediatric patients.
