Families of children with epilepsy now ask about the ketogenic diet at clinic visits. Is it effective and safe to use for treatment of epilepsy?
The ketogenic diet can be considered an option for children with intractable epilepsy who use multiple antiepileptic drugs. It is a treatment of choice for seizures associated with glucose transporter protein deficiency syndrome (ie, De Vivo disease) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency. The diet's strictness, unpalatability, and side effects limit its use, adversely affecting patients' compliance and clinical efficacy.
患有癫痫的儿童的家属现在会在就诊时询问生酮饮食。生酮饮食作为治疗癫痫的方法,其效果和安全性如何?
生酮饮食可被视为多种抗癫痫药物治疗无效的难治性癫痫儿童的一种选择。它是葡萄糖转运蛋白缺乏综合征(即 De Vivo 病)和丙酮酸脱氢酶复合体缺乏相关癫痫发作的首选治疗方法。该饮食的严格性、口感不佳和副作用限制了其使用,对患者的依从性和临床疗效产生不利影响。
