Pediatric tramadol ingestion resulting in seizurelike activity: a case series.

Tramadol has been reported to cause seizures in therapeutic dosing and in overdose. We present a series of 2 infants poisoned with tramadol, both presenting with abnormal neurologic findings: either seizures or seizurelike activity. Tramadol poisoning should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dystonia and seizures.

Apnea caused by mesial temporal lobe mass lesions in infants: report of 3 cases.

Apnea as an isolated manifestation of seizures is well described in neonates but is only occasionally observed in infants. This article reports 3 infants presenting with apneic events as the main manifestation of seizure, documented by video electroencephalogram, all with mesial temporal lobe lesions. The 3 infants, after normal pregnancy and delivery at term, showed the first apnea at the age of 4 to 10 months.

Focal motor seizures with secondary generalization arising in the cerebellum. Case report and review of the literature.

The issue of whether seizures can arise in the cerebellum remains controversial. The authors present the first known case of focal subcortical epilepsy with secondary generalization thought to arise from a dysplastic lesion within the cerebellum. A newborn infant presented with daily episodes of left eye blinking, stereotyped extremity movements, postural arching, and intermittent altered consciousness lasting less than 1 minute.
