  • Title: [Intentional Datura stramonium intoxication: an unknown etiology of mydriasis].
    Author: Montcriol A, Kenane N, Delort G, Asencio Y, Palmier B.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 2007 Sep; 26(9):810-3. PubMed ID: 17651937.
    Abstract:
    Two case reports of Datura stramonium intoxications are presented. The first one was a self poisoning, with a moderate anticholinergic syndrome and a spontaneous improvement. The second one was a recreational use of Datura stramonium for its hallucinogenic properties. The anticholinergic syndrome was marked and the improvement required orotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, intraveinous rehydratation, and active cooling to prevent organ failure.
