OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ketogenic diet (KD) treatment of refractory childhood epilepsy in China and determine which children are more likely to respond. METHODS Between 2004 and 2011, we prospectively enrolled 317 children with refractory epilepsy for the KD treatment in Shenzhen Children's Hospital and followed up for at least a year. Outcome was measured by seiz...
Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a newly recognized epileptic encephalopathy in which previously healthy school-aged children present with prolonged treatment-resistant status epilepticus (SE). Survivors are typically left with pharmacoresistant epilepsy and severe cognitive impairment. Various treatment regimens have been reported, all with limited success. The ketogenic ...
Background and purpose:There are many challenges in diagnosis and treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy. The aim of this study was to survey the paraclinical findings in children with refractory epilepsy in Mofid Children's Hospital and their effect on treatment response. Materials and methods:This cross-sectional study was undertaken in 2007 to 2008. One hundred and fifty patients ...
The ketogenic diet (KD) is an established, effective, nonpharmacologic treatment for children with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Although the KD is the most well-established dietary therapy for epilepsy, it is too restrictive and is associated with serious complications; therefore, alternative lower-fat diets, including a modified Atkins diet and low-glycemic index diet, have been developed. Rece...
objective 1-3% of the population suffer from epilepsy. up to 30% of them develop refractory epilepsy and their seizures occur more than once per month despite receiving at least 2 first line antiepileptic drugs. in this group, more efficacious antiepileptics are needed. this study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxcarbazepine as an adjunction therapy in children with refr...
141 M ost practicing child neurologists possess a basic understanding of the ketogenic diet, which is a high-fat, low-protein, low-carbohydrate diet for treating children with epilepsy who do not respond to or cannot tolerate drugs. This diet mimics the biochemical changes associated with starvation and induces, among other changes, production of ketone bodies (mainly beta-hydroxybutyrate, and ...
Background: Epilepsy is the second common neurologic disorder. Although many antiepileptic drugs have been formulated to control the seizures, but not all seizures have been controlled by them. Uncontrolled epilepsy can actually reduce the patients’ quality of life. Objectives: Identifying the proportion of adult intractable epilepsy among epileptic patients in an area in the North East o...
Refractory Epilepsy (R.E.) is a condition where all antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) fail to provide adequate seizure control. To diagnose R.E., false cases of refractoriness need to be carefully excluded. There are several predictors of refractoriness. The treatment options in R.E. are resective surgery, ketogenic diet and vagal nerve stimulation. The roles of newer AEDs are also promising. The futu...
The ketogenic diet, a non-drug treatment with proven effectiveness, has been the most commonly used therapy in the past decade for the management of refractory epilepsy in the pediatric population. Compared to adding a new drug to a pre-existing treatment, the ketogenic diet is highly effective and reduces the number of seizures by 50-90% in approximately 45-60% of children after six months of ...
