Untreated epileptic encephalopathies in children may potentially have disastrous outcomes. Treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) often may not control the seizures, and even if they do, this measure is only symptomatic and not specific. It is especially valuable to identify potential underlying conditions that have specific treatments. Only a few conditions have definitive treatments that can potentially modify the natural course of disease. In this paper, we discuss the few such conditions that are responsive to vitamin or vitamin derivatives.
儿童未经治疗的癫痫性脑病可能会产生灾难性后果。使用抗癫痫药物（AEDs）进行治疗往往无法控制癫痫发作，即便能够控制，这种措施也只是对症治疗而非特异性治疗。识别具有特异性治疗方法的潜在基础疾病尤为重要。只有少数疾病有明确的治疗方法，有可能改变疾病的自然病程。在本文中，我们将讨论几种对维生素或维生素衍生物有反应的此类疾病。
