Summary

According to the World Health Organization, more than 50 million people have epilepsy. Among them, nearly 80% of epileptic patients live in developing countries and 75% of them do not have access to treatment. The ketogenic diet (KD) has been shown as an effective alternative for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Although it has been studied by few studies in Asia, no such studies have been conducted in Vietnam. The purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of the KD in children with refractory epilepsies followed at a pediatric center in South Vietnam.
