Abstract
This boy had classic features of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, but expressed almost exclusively over the right hemisphere, which was initially unaffected in his acute presentation of HHE. His evolution to “hemi-Lennox-Gastaut-like phenotype” illustrates the importance of monitoring chronic epilepsy in patients with HHE; early surgical intervention might prevent pathologic recruitment of bilateral secondary networks leading to the refractory seizures and cognitive impairment associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
