Abstract
An 18-month-old girl with supraventricular tachycardia was given a dose of intravenous verapamil and suffered a short myoclonic seizure which occurred again when she was given second and third doses. In the absence of any pre disposing factors, direct drug reaction was implicated as the cause of the seizure.
