Abstract:
Although the ketogenic diet(KD) has originally been used to treat epilepsies,plenty of evidence about the efficacy to intractable epilepsy has not accumulated until recently.These epilepsy or epilepsy syndrome include:Dravet syndrome,Doose syndrome,infantile spasms,Angelman syndrome with epilepsy,tuberous sclerosis complex and focal cerebral dysplasia or other structural epilepsy.It is worth paying more attention to the efficacy of KD on cognition,language development and behavior problems.
