Ketogenic Diet in Infant Epilepsy

An investigation of small children up to two years old with epilepsy resistant to treatment with some anticonvulsant drugs. The study shows that the ketogenic diet, given to children for 8 weeks, has similar efficacy and tolerability to additional anticonvulsant medication; it should therefore be considered a safe treatment option for children of this young age with drug-resistant epilepsy.
