Toxicological seizures: characteristics, outcomes and recurrence
In this series, toxicological seizures were most common after tramadol, 3,4-methylenedioxymetamfetamine, quetiapine and cocaine. Seizure recurrence was common, with 4% of patients later diagnosed with epilepsy, supporting toxicological seizures being investigated, managed and followed up as rigorously as unprovoked first seizures.
