Inclusion criteria were original articles, indexed in selected databases, in Portuguese and English; published between the years 2016 to 2021. The exclusion criteria were publications of articles not related to the topic. Results: it was found that the ketogenic diet is effective in the treatment of childhood epilepsy, as it is able to reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures by up to 100%, as well as providing an improvement in the neurobehavioral development of children, also showing that the greater the longer the treatment, the better the results.
