Acute ethylene oxide intoxication.
A case of acute ethylene oxide intoxication is described in which neurological involvement was present. Three recurrent seizures over a period of an hour were observed in a 43-year-old female. The patient continued to complain of malaise and inability to perform minor motor tasks up to one week after discharge. Neurological evaluation conducted three weeks after toxic exposure was completely normal. A two-month follow-up showed the patient to be asymptomatic without recurrence of symptoms.
