  • Effective long-term management is crucial for patient well-being.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the critical need for continuous treatment in EMJ/Janz syndrome.
  • To emphasize the high relapse rates associated with treatment suspension.

Summary:

  • EMJ/Janz syndrome necessitates lifelong behavioral hygiene and treatment adherence.
  • Treatment cessation is strongly linked to seizure recurrence.
  • Studies indicate relapse rates as high as 91% in patients who stop treatment after two seizure-free years.

Impact:

  • Underscores the importance of sustained therapeutic strategies for epilepsy management.
