Resumen
GOMEZ-OLAYA, Stefany Denise; MAYON-RUIZ, Shirley del Rocío; IZQUIERDO-ORTEGA, Denisse y DUENAS-VIELMA, Priscila Romina. Ketogenic diet in patient with refractory epilepsy. Case report. Salud y Vida [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.18, pp.128-138. Epub 05-Oct-2025. ISSN 2610-8038. https://doi.org/10.35381/s.v.v9i18.4661.
Objective:
To analyze the ketogenic diet in patients with refractory epilepsy. Case report.
Method:
It was based on a quantitative method, applying a documentary-bibliographic typology for the analysis. Supported by statistical and descriptive analysis.
Results:
It was evidenced that the implementation of the ketogenic diet (KD) in the patient produced a drastic and sustained decrease in the frequency of epileptic seizures.
Conclusion:
The implementation of the ketogenic diet in a pediatric patient with refractory epilepsy showed an immediate reduction, even after progressive suspension of the dietary intervention. The favorable response in a context of pharmacological refractoriness reinforces its usefulness as a complementary therapeutic strategy in cases that do not meet surgical criteria.
