Transient hemiparesis--a rare complication of phenytoin toxicity.

R Sandyk.   

Abstract

A 31-year-old man on phenytoin for post-traumatic epilepsy developed transient hemiparesis contralateral to the injury. This appeared to have been precipitated by phenytoin intoxication. A possible mechanism for focal neurological deficit occurring in brain-damaged patients on phenytoin is discussed.
