Doose Syndrome
Taxonomy Code: YF-3000.2550
An epilepsy syndrome of early childhood also knows as myoclonic astatic epilepsy (MAE). It most commonly appears between the ages of one and five and features generalized seizures. Children will experience drop attacks and staring seizures which are sometimes associated with falls. Although MAE seizures are often resistant to medication, anti-seizure drugs valproate and levetiracetam may be helpful. However, research has shown that the ketogenic diet and modified Atkins diet are often the most effective treatments. The cause of MAE is not yet known.
