Camphor poisoning: An unusual cause of seizure in children.

Chaitali Patra1, Shatanik Sarkar1, Malay Kumar Dasgupta1, Amit Das1.   

Abstract

Camphor is a pleasant-smelling cyclic ketone with propensity to cause neurologic side-effect, especially seizures. We report a case of 1½-year-old child who after inadvertent consumption of camphor, experienced an episode of generalized tonic clonic seizure. This case highlights the importance of enquiring any intake of material (medicinal or otherwise) in every patient presenting with seizure and notifying presence of typical smell, if any.
