Abstrakt:	Nummular headache is an unusual facial pain disorder with no evidence-based therapy recommendations. The ketogenic diet is an alternative therapy that demonstrated to be effective in migraineurs, but it was never used in the setting of nummular headache. We describe a 58-years old female patient with nummular headache successfully treated with a 6-months ketogenic diet and botulinum toxin type A injections. Ketogenic diet could be an effective alternative/complementary therapy in nummular headache patients although more studies are needed to confirm our results. Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
