Generalized seizures and cocaine abuse

John A. Myers, MD and Michael P. Earnest, MD

From The Department of Neurology, Denver General Hospital, and the Department of Neurology, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO.

Cocaine is a commonly abused drug. We report three patients who had generalized seizures immediately following intravenous injection of cocaine. Previous experimental and clinical literature have documented a relationship between cocaine and convulsions. The rising incidence of cocaine use may be associated with a rising incidence of cocaine-associated seizures.

Accepted for publication August 9, 1983.
