Seizures and Vaping-A Report of Two Cases.

Peter S Tatum1, Joel M Oster1.   

Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study is to describe the clinical course of two patients who presented with new-onset seizures within hours of vaping and to survey neurologists' screening for vaping in such patients. A 30-subject single-institution survey found that 19 out of 30 neurology providers have not been subjectively qualifying vaping as a potential seizure-provoking factor since the 2019 emergence of literature on this topic. Inquiring about vaping during a new-onset seizure assessment could lead to earlier recognition of a seizure-provoking factor. Further investigations into the epileptogenicity of vaping are needed and the utility of AntiEpileptic Drug (AED) initiation for these patients is currently unknown. © The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2021.
