Core Tip This systematic review underscores the intricate relationship between nutrition and epilepsy, emphasizing the bidirectional impact of malnutrition on seizure susceptibility and the potential of tailored dietary interventions to improve epilepsy management. Through systematic search and analysis of various studies, the review highlights malnutrition as both a risk factor for epilepsy onset and a consequence of epilepsy, underscoring the importance of nutritional interventions in epilepsy management. While nutritional strategies such as ketogenic diets and medium-chain fatty acids offer promising benefits, their implementation is challenged by factors including patient compliance, resource allocation, and healthcare system support. The review calls for further research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these interventions and highlights the need for a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to integrate nutrition into epilepsy care effectively.
