TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Envenomation seizures JO - Neurohospitalist, The A1 - Kharal, Ghulam Abbas A1 - Darby, Richard Ryan A1 - Cohen, Adam B. SP - 29 EP - 30 VL - 8 IS - 1 N2 - Insect sting-related envenomation rarely produces seizures. We present a patient with confusion and seizures that began 24 hours after a yellow jacket (wasp) sting. Given the rapid onset and resolution of symptoms, as well as accompanying dermatological and orbital features, and the lack of any infectious or structural abnormalities identified, the toxic effect of the wasp venom (and related anaphylaxis reaction) was believed to be the cause of his presentation.
