title: [Use of ketogenic diet in treatment of pharmacoresistant epilepsy].
abstract: Ketogenic diet (KD) is one of the most effective methods of epilepsy non-drug therapy. Ten patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, aged 1.5-18 years, were treated with individually matched and strictly controlled KD with high fat content and restricted amount of proteins and carbohydrates. After 1 year, only 4 patients kept the diet. Factors of efficacy, causes of withdrawal and side effects of KD are discussed.
