[Abstract]
The ketogenic diet is frequently used as part of the treatment regimen for pediatric patients with refractory epilepsy. This diet is generally well tolerated, with constipation being the most described side effect. This case highlights a previously undocumented severe complication of a "keto-bezoar" formation related to the initiation of the ketogenic diet in a young infant.
