    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1982; 17(4):741-6. PubMed ID: 7155619.
    Abstract:
    Accidental intoxication with carbamazepine in a non epileptic female infant of two years of age is described. On admission the girl was unconscious, reacting only to painful stimuli, with a tonic extension spasm of the left arm and a tonic spasm of the mastication muscles. After primary care and gastric lavage a general tonic seizure with opisthotonus occurred. CBZ-plasma level 14 hours after ingestion: 19.4 mcg/ml (82.06 micromol/l). After the girl recovered consciousness, 21 hours after ingestion, a period of restlessness was seen. 36 hours after ingestion the patient had recovered completely. Comparison with published cases is made, the analogy to diphenylhydantoin intoxication is pointed out.
