N2  - Ketogenic diet is a non-pharmacologic treatment for childhood epilepsy not responding to drugs.  This is a prospective study conducted to measure the efficacy and tolerability of the ketogenic diet in children with intractable epilepsy. Twenty eight children were treated with the KD at The Children{u2019}s Hospital at Cairo University between December 2012 and March 2014, and had continuous follow-up of 6 months after initiation of the KD.
