Abstract

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe form of childhood epilepsy that is defined by generalized multiple type seizures, slowness of intellectual growth, and a specific EEG disturbance. Children affected might previously have infantile spasms or underlying brain disorder but etiology can be idiopathic. LGS seizures are often treatment resistant and the long term prognosis is poor. A 14-year-3-month old, 20.5 kg girl with LGS was scheduled for dental treatment under general anesthesia. The patient presented with multiple caries and heavy calculus. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with inhalation agent, Sevoflurane. And caries treatment, scaling, subgingival curretage were performed. LGS patients usually have poor oral hygiene due to mental retardation and have high risk of seizure during dental treatment. In dental treatment under general anesthesia for LGS, it must be considered of seizure control during peri-operative period. Also periodic recall check, instruction of oral hygiene must be performed.

레녹스-가스토 증후군은 소아 난치성 간질 중의 하나로서, 여러 형태의 간질 발작과 정신지체, 뇌파상 각성시 1.5-2 Hz의 극서파복합이 나타는 것을 특징으로 한다. 간질발작은 대개 1-8세경에 나타나며, 대부분의 환아들은 인지기능의 심각한 장애와 정신지체를 일으킨다. 발작과 정신지체를 동반하여 치과치료 시 양호한 협조도를 얻을 수 없고, 본 증례와 같이 다발성 우식증이 있는 경우, 안정적인 생징후를 유지, 감독하며 내원 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 전신마취 하 치과치료가 유리할 것이다. 본 증례에서는 레녹스-가스토 증후군을 가진 14세 3개월 여아를 전신마취 하에 안정적이고 효과적으로 치과 치료할 수 있었다. 레녹스-가스토 환자의 전신 상태에 대한 충분한 술전 평가가 선행되고, 간질발작 증상에 대한 적절한 조절이 선행된다면, 전신마취 하에 치과 치료를 매우 효과적으로 진행할 수 있을 것을 사료된다.
