    Abstract Introduction: Lennox Gastaut syndrome (LGS) as an electroclinical diagnosis has been utilized as a clinical entity for more than 70 years. However, with the recognition of other distinct electroclinical epilepsy syndromes, no consistent single etiology, and the variability of criteria used in clinical trials, the clinical utility of such a diagnosis has been questioned. Recently, the International League Against Epilepsy for the first time defined diagnostic criteria for epilepsy syndromes, thereby allowing consistent language and inclusion criteria to be utilized.
    Areas covered: Recent diagnostic criteria for syndrome diagnosis are explored as defined by the International League Against Epilepsy, with further literature reviewed to highlight relevant features, and differential diagnosis explored.
    Expert opinion: Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) is an overall term that may be descriptive of many different epilepsies, most of early onset, whether electroclinically or etiologically defined, of which LGS is one. Although we have moved forward in defining an increasing number of etiologically specific syndromes, this to date remains a minority of the DEEs. Although there is progress with precision medicine targeted at specific causes, the term LGS still remains useful as a diagnosis in defining treatment options, as well as overall prognosis.

    Abstract This study utilized a qualitative design to explore dietitians' perceptions regarding Ketogenic Diet Therapy (KDT) for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy in Kenya. Dietitians from Kenya were selected and consented. Audio-recorded interviews were conducted, followed by thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts to identify recurring patterns. The study enrolled 18 dietitians, fourteen of whom correctly described their understanding of KDT for managing drug-resistant epilepsy. There was a lack of confidence in their capacity to initiate the KDT with all expressing the need for further training and facilitation. Only one dietitian reported having initiated and maintained KDT. There was an overall positive view regarding KDT and willingness to implement KDT for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Dietitians expressed concerns regarding the availability of national policies, inadequate staffing to support families who require KDT, and the cost of implementing this intervention. Dietitians expressed interest in virtual training to enhance their understanding of KDT. Dietitians in Kenya are mostly aware of KDT utilization for the management of drug-resistant epilepsy. However, they cited poor capability and various barriers to implementation. There is a need for policies to facilitate KDT as a treatment option for the benefit of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
