Abstract

A case of infantile seizures of unusual etiology and presentation is described. Water intoxication with resultant epilepticus was caused by ingestion of nearly 150 ml/kg of fresh water on the day of presentation. It is unclear why the infant voluntarily consumed so much water, but heat illness is the most probable cause.
