Neurocognitive and behavioral profiles of children with Landau-Kleffner syndrome.
Applied Neuropsychology. Child 2017 October
This is a retrospective study of 14 cases of children with Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS), the most prominent feature of which is acquired aphasia. These children were followed at a tertiary care pediatric epilepsy center. From the research data base, all LKS cases with neuropsychological evaluation were extracted. Children ranged in age from 6 to 13 years (M = 9.12; SD = 2.19) at the time of assessment (1 to 10 years post-onset). The majority of the children were white males, and all but one continued to experience seizure activity. Global intellectual functioning ranged from 59 to 101 (M = 82.07; SD = 12.14). Across the 14 cases reviewed, the neuropsychological profiles are considered in the context of neurological and syndrome-related factors. For these cases, 86% demonstrated continued expressive, and 50% had receptive language problems with 57% exhibiting poor auditory processing. Furthermore, 50 to 57% had deficits in auditory working memory and verbal memory. Academically, the majority had poor reading fluency and comprehension; 50% exhibited difficulty with mathematics. Finally, 57% evidenced attentional or other behavioral problems. Better understanding of LKS can assist in targeted assessment and intervention planning.
