Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is associated with a significant risk of death or neurological morbidity. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a dietary therapy that succeeds in controlling seizures in otherwise RSE in children and adult patients. Inflammatory etiologies might be a particular target, but KD has reported efficacy in other etiologies. KD is well tolerated, and the effect is seen within days. Randomized and controlled studies are lacking in this area, and studies are needed to prove the efficacy of KD in RSE and to identify specific indications. This would help to increase its use and to implement it in intensive care units to resolve severe epileptic conditions quickly.
