Toxin-Induced Seizures.

New toxins are emerging all the time. In this article, the authors review common toxins that cause seizure, their mechanisms, associated toxidromes, and treatments. Stimulants, cholinergic agents, gamma-aminobutyric acid antagonists, glutamate agonists, histamine and adenosine antagonists, and withdrawal states are highlighted. Understanding current mechanisms for common toxin-induced seizures can promote understanding for future toxins and predicting if seizure may occur as a result of toxicity.
