TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Attempted suicide by Œnantha crocata. A case report JO - Journal Européen des Urgences A1 - Fradin, P. A1 - Gamelin, L. A1 - Chiale, E. A1 - Connan, L. A1 - Gabillet, L. A1 - Pluchon, Y.-m. SP - 33 EP - 36 VL - 18 IS - 1 N2 - Œnantha crocata is a plant found throughout Western France. The oenanthotoxin is quickly poisonous with an ingested dose of a few milligrams. A 43-year-old man, who ingested a few grams of the root of this plant, started to vomit within 30 minutes and developed status epilepticus, which was seriously aggravated by severe rhabdomyolysis. Recovery came after 4 days in intensive care. Medical care must be delivered swiftly to hope for a positive outcome. © Masson, Paris, 2005.
