This special issue of pediatric epilepsy is devoted to "new therapies in pediatric epilepsy". Several distinguished authors have given their experiences and have reviewed the current literature on a variety of topics. We initially start with thinking about treatable metabolic encephalopathies in the neo-nate by Dr. Andrade. Then we look at the newest drugs on the horizon for treatment of pediatric epilepsy by Dr. Kohrman's group. For the reader only interested in non "tablet" therapy, an inside look from a dietician's; nurse's perspective is provided on the ketogenic diet. This article deals with the real and practical questions that a parent/ doctor may have about the day to day working of the ketogenic diet.
