Long‐term seizure and psychosocial outcomes of patients with ring chromosome 20 syndrome: A cohort study of 47 cases
In 30% of r20 patients, drug treatment improved seizures to a degree minimally disruptive to daily life. Lamotrigine use was associated with favorable seizure outcome. Social constraints in employment, residence, and marriage were significant, indicating the need for comprehensive epilepsy care.
