- Abstract
The article focuses on prediction of responders to ketogenic diet based on syndrome and etiology. It states that ketogenic diet is favorably considered in cases of diseases like West syndrome, Dravet syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and mentions that the ketogenic diet is particularly effective in refractory epilepsy due to acquired structural abnormalities. It notes findings of a study showing gain in children's development and quality of life during the ketogenic diet treatment.
