Résumé
We present a detailed clinical, laboratory, electroencephalogram/magnetic resonance imaging description and a 4-month follow-up of a case of stroke and provoked seizures as manifestation of angel's trumpet intoxication. A 76-year-old woman presented with stuporous state evolving in 48 hours in bilateral mydriasis, vomiting, global aphasia, confusion, and stereotyped movement. An interictal electroencephalogram, performed 72 hours later, showed frequent generalized epileptiform discharges, and a brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed 2 small subcortical lesions in the right frontal lobe on diffusion weighted imaging sequences. When completely recovered, she could tell that she had mistaken angel's trumpet flowers for pumpkin flowers, so she had eaten them. Angel's trumpet intoxication is a neurological emergency that deserves attention of both the media in matter of plant poisoning and the scientific forums because of the high lethal potential to better choose the diagnostic and therapeutic process.
