Epilepsi, her yaştan insanı etkileyen kronik bir beyin hastalığıdır. Dünya genelinde yaklaşık 50 milyon insanın epilepsisi vardır ve bu da epilepsiyi dünyadaki en yaygın nörolojik hastalıklardan biri yapmaktadır. Epilepsi tedavisinde hedef, nöbet sıklığını ve şiddetini azaltmak, mümkünse tam nöbet kontrolü sağlamak, tekrarlayan nöbetlerin oluşturacağı hasarları önlemek, hastanın günlük aktivitelerini yapabilmesini sağlamaktır. Çoğu nöbet bir veya daha fazla anti-epileptik ilaç kullanılarak kontrol altına alınabilmektedir, ancak bir süre sonra bu ilaçlar nöbetler için yararlı olmayabilir ve bu durum, ilaca dirençli epilepsi olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Dirençli epilepsisi olan bireyler için, özel diyet tedavileri düşünülebilir. Hipokrat zamanından günümüze epilepsi tedavisinde çeşitli diyetler kullanılmış olup, güncel literatürde kabul gören yaklaşım yüksek yağ ve düşük karbonhidrat içeriğine sahip olan ketojenik diyetlerdir. Ketojenik diyetlerin nöbet sıklığını azalttığı öne sürülmektedir. Farklı tipleri bulunan (klasik ketojenik diyet, MCT diyeti, modifiye MCT diyeti gibi) diyet tedavileri arasında, özellikle odifiye Atkins diyeti olmak üzere daha az kısıtlayıcı olan ketojenik diyetlere ilgi son zamanlarda artmıştır. Ayrıca, diyete omega-3 yağ asitlerinin eklenmesi, lizin kısıtlaması veya magnezyum desteği yapılması ve ketojenik parenteral nütrisyon gibi yeni diyet yaklaşımları ile ilgili araştırmalar da mevcuttur. Bu derlemede, epilepsi tedavisinde kullanılan ketojenik diyet tipleri, nöbet kontrolündeki etkinlikleri, etki mekanizmaları ve olası yan etkileri ile diğer diyet tedavisi yaklaşımlarının açıklanması amaçlanmıştır.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease that affects people of all ages. Approximately 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases in the world. The goal of the epilepsy treatment is to reduce the frequency and severity of the seizure, to ensure full seizure control if possible, to prevent the damage caused by recurrent seizures, to enable the patient to perform daily activities. Most seizures can be controlled using one or more anti-epileptic drugs, however after a while these drugs may not be useful for seizures, and this is called drug-resistant epilepsy. For individuals with resistant epilepsy, special dietary treatments may be considered. Various diets have been used in the epilepsy treatment from the time of Hippocrates to the present, and the approach adopted in the current literature is ketogenic diets with high fat and low carbohydrate content, and it is suggested that these diets reduce the frequency of seizures. Among the dietary treatments with different types (such as a classic ketogenic diet, MCT diet, modified MCT diet), interest in less restrictive ketogenic diets, especially the modified Atkins diet, has recently increased. There are also researches on new dietary approaches such as dietary supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids, lysine restriction or magnesium supplementation and ketogenic parenteral nutrition. In this review, it is aimed to explain the ketogenic diet types used in the epilepsy treatment, their effectiveness in seizure control, their mechanisms of action and possible adverse effects, and other dietary treatment approaches.
