“…In another study, all 28 adults who remained on the diet for at least 1 week became ketotic, but only 2 of 15 (13%) had moderate-large urinary ketosis after 6 months [30]. Ketone levels do not always correlate with improved efficacy in adults [30, 33] or in mixed cohorts of children and adolescents [13, 23, 32]. Table 2 summarizes the studies of MAD in adults.…”

The ketogenic diet (KD) is one of the most effective therapies for drug-resistant epilepsy. The efficacy of the medium-chain triglyceride KD (MCTKD) is as excellent as the classic KD (CKD), which has been documented in several subsequent retrospective, prospective, and randomized studies. MCT oil is more ketogenic than long-chain triglycerides. Therefore, the MCTKD allows more carbohydrate and protein food, which makes the diet more palatable than the CKD. The MCTKD is not based on diet ratios as is the CKD, but uses a percentage of calories from MCT oil to create ketones. There has also been literature which documents the associated gastrointestinal side effects from the MCTKD, such as diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, and cramps. Therefore, the MCTKD has been an underutilized diet therapy for intractable epilepsy among children.The author has used up to >70% MCTKD diet to maximize seizure control with gastrointestinal side effects optimally controlled. As long as health care professionals carefully manage MCTKD, many more patients with epilepsy who are not appropriate for CKD or modified Atkins diet or low glycemic index treatment will benefit from this treatment. A comparison between the MCTKD and other KDs is also discussed. (Biomed J 2013;36:9-15)

“…Günlük 1 500 kcal içeren beslenme için dört farklı diyet tipinin karşılaştırması* yüksek yağ alımı desteklenmektedir. Günümüzde birçok merkez tarafından tercih edilen DAD'da keton üretimi değişkendir ve tedavinin ilk ayında destek amaçlı yüksek yağ içeren formülalarla etkinliğinin arttığı gösterilmiştir (18). Ketojenik diyete başlanmadan önce hastaların bireysel özellikleri, ailelerin ve diyetisyenin görüşleri doğrultusunda hastanın en uyum göstereceği diyetin seçilmesi önerilmektedir; zira yakın takip sağlanmazsa tedavi etkinliğinin sürdürülmesi olanaksızdır (16).…”

ÖzetYüksek yağ ve düşük karbonhidrat içeren ketojenik diyet 1920'lerin başında epilepsi tedavisinde kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Fenitoin gibi yeni ilaçların keşfiyle 90'lara kadar unutulmuş eski bir tedavi olarak kalmıştır. Dirençli epilepside ketojenik diyet ile hastaların yarısının nöbet sayılarında belirgin azalma ve yaklaşık %15'inde ise tam nöbet kontrolü bildirilmiştir. Önceleri son tedavi tercihleri arasında yer alan diyet, artan bilgi birikimi ve daha kolay uygulanabilir değiştirilmiş formların da etkinliğinin görülmesiyle miyoklonik, astatik epilepsi, Dravet sendromu ve süt çocuğu spazmı gibi epileptik ansafalopatilerde ilk tedavi seçenekleri arasına yerleşmiştir. (Türk Ped Arfl 2013; 48: 275-80) Anahtar sözcükler: Dravet sendromu, epilepsi, ketojenik diyet, miyoklonik astatik epilepsi, süt çocuğı spazmı SummaryKetogenic diet composed of high fat and low carbonhydrate was introduced as a therapeutic alternative for epilepsy in early 20's. As new antiepileptic agents such as phenytoin were discovered, popularity of the diet was waned until 90's. Studies on efficacy of diet in refractory epilepsy reported that approximately half of the children had a significant reduction, 15% of whom were seizure free. With growing body of evidence and introduction of diet modifications, ketogenic diet was promoted as a first line treatment for epileptic encephalopathies such as myoclonic-astatic epilepsy , Dravet syndrome and infantile spasm.
