To determine the effectiveness on seizure control of the ketogenic diet (KD) compared to further anti-epileptic drug (AED) treatment in children with epilepsy aged 3 months to 2 years who have failed to respond to two or more AEDs. Research question: Are there clear benefits in terms of seizure control in infants with continued seizures, despite two AEDs, treated with a KD as compared to a similar control group who are treated with a further AED?
