| Abstract | Translation of an article originally published in the French journal Archives des maladies professionnelles et de medecine du travail, Sep. 1996, Vol.57, No.5 (see CIS 97-561). Contents: Two cases of hexogen-induced seizures after occupational exposure in a French explosive factory are described. The workers were hand-sieving large amounts of dry hexogen powder for four and six hours, respectively. Recurrent seizures occurred despite anticonvulsant therapy, six and two hours after admission, respectively. Neurological examination was normal in both patients and both recovered uneventfully. Previous cases were found after a retrospective study of the factory's medical records. The available toxicological data on this rare occupational poisoning are reviewed. |
