Short Statement: Documents the positive effects of the ketogenic diet in patients with AHC.
Summary: In our study, a KD was administered to the patient over a period of 12 months. The implementation of this dietary intervention resulted in a reduction in the onset of hemiplegia, a shortened duration of the condition, and a notable improvement in neuropsychological development. These findings align with previous case reports documenting the positive effects of the diet in patients with AHC. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy to mention that no significant alteration in seizure frequency was observed throughout the course of our study.
