Spanish PCPs are generally aware of genetic epilepsy but lack full knowledge of DS and PAGs. DS diagnosis is often delayed, with misdiagnoses and frequent emergency room (ER) visits, especially in adult patients. Treatment involves multiple drugs, and sodium channel blockers are used, which are contraindicated in DS treatment. Training, resources, and communication between PCPs and PNs are needed for early diagnosis and better management of the disease.
