Prognosis of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome

About prognosis: The 'prognosis' of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome usually refers to the likely outcome of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome. The prognosis of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome may include the duration of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, chances of complications of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, probable outcomes, prospects for recovery, recovery period for Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, survival rates, death rates, and other outcome possibilities in the overall prognosis of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome. Naturally, such forecast issues are by their nature unpredictable.

Prognosis for Landau-Kleffner Syndrome: The prognosis for children with LKS varies. Some affected children may have a permanent severe language disorder, while others may regain much of their language abilities (although it may take months or years). In some cases, remissions and relapse may occur. The prognosis is improved when the onset of the disorder is after age 6 and when speech therapy is started early. Seizures generally disappear by adulthood. ¹
