[Generalized seizure induced by methohexital].
Seizures induced by methohexitone have been reported in epileptic patients. An alcoholic patient without any previous history of epilepsy had grand mal-like seizures after being given an intravenous injection of 4 mg X kg-1 methohexitone. The respective parts played by high doses of methohexitone and chronic alcoholism in the induction of seizures are discussed.
