Department of Pediatrics, Loma Linda University School of Medicine, CA 92350.

A 6-year-old girl presented with tonic-clonic seizures and generalized convulsions lasting several minutes. A serum drug screen revealed maprotiline, and the estimated intake was 12 mg/kg. Despite initial neurologic impairment on discharge, follow-up 6 months later showed normal neurologic function in the patient. This report describes that case and discusses the toxicity associated with maprotiline and its management.
