title: [Use of tryptophan in the treatment of epilepsy of the Lennox-Gastaut type].
abstract: The authors describe a positive but transient effect of additional administration of tryptophan in 3 children with Lennox-Gastaut epilepsy in whom anticonvulsants alone failed to control the attacks. Further observations are necessary, especially for studying the correlation of doses with blood drug level.
