Ketogenic diet could be considered in cases of drug resistant epilepsy related to CFD-FOLR1 disorder as an add-on treatment to antiepileptic medication and/or to folinic acid. Early folinic acid administration represents a diseasemodifying treatment. Lowering of MTHF in CSF is age-specific and may be mild to moderate, especially in younger patients and at early stages of the disease.
