Abstract
A 2-year-old boy who ingested 0.8-1.5 g of amantadine developed status epilepticus. One hour later, the child presented with agitation, diaphoresis, and vomiting. He was admitted to the pediatric emergency department 2 hours later. Generalized seizures evolved to status epilepticus, with alternating generalized tonic-clonic and partial seizures, over a period of 7 hours. Other initial clinical signs were sinusal tachycardia and reactive bilateral mydriasis. All symptoms resolved within 20 hours, with a good recovery; the child was released from the hospital on day 3.
