| Abstract | Composition C-4 (C-4) is a plastic explosive widely used in both military and civilian settings. Ingestion of the active ingredient, RDX (cyclonite), can cause generalized seizures. Accidental and intentional C-4 (RDX) intoxications have occurred during manufacture or in wartime. In the literature the intentional ingestion of C-4 has been reported but not verified. We present a case of intentional C-4 abuse. |
