Symptoms and Disease Progression in Pediatric Patients With Dravet Syndrome

Panelists discuss how early recognition of Dravet syndrome's key clinical features—including prolonged seizures triggered by fever or illness in the first year of life, the importance of genetic testing for SCN1A variants, and the progressive nature of the condition that evolves from initial febrile seizures to multiple seizure types alongside developmental delays—can support timely diagnosis and improve long-term outcomes for pediatric patients.
