3.1.3 Specific seizure disorders in children

Ketogenic diets should be considered early in the management of children with seizure disorders that consistently demonstrate a 60–70% improvement in seizure control, well above the "usual" 40–50% improvement [2]. These disorders include Angelman syndrome, complex I mitochondrial disorders, Doose syndrome, Dravet syndrome, febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), formula-fed infants or children, infantile spasms, Ohtahara syndrome, super-refractory status epilepticus, and tuberous sclerosis complex [2].
