Epilepsy is a disabling and common neurological disease, which can be controlled successfully in most patients with one or more antiepileptic drugs. Some of these patients are not surgery candidates, so it is necessary to search for alternative treatments for epilepsy such as palliative surgery, neuromodulation, and a ketogenic diet. Recent studies have found a significantly positive outcome with the use of the ketogenic diet for treatment of refractory epilepsy in children.
