| Description | Over 70,000 people with active epilepsy, of which 30% with drug-resistant form – that‘s the situation in the Czech Republic, which makes epilepsy a serious health and socio-economic problem. However, even most of these patients can be helped by non-pharmacological treatment – surgically (= epileptosurgery) or using a ketotherapy. Both modalities are fully established in therapeutic management of epilepsies and their provision falls within the competence of specialized epilepsy centres. Following article briefly summarizes the basic principles, efficacy, limitations and practical aspects of treatment in both areas. |
