We report a case of three seizures provoked by e-cigarette use (vaping) within the time span of five years from youth to young adult. At presentation, the neurological exam was unremarkable. Computerized tomography (CT) of the head, magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the brain, electroencephalograms (EEG), electrocardiogram (EKG), and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) were normal. Multiple toxicology screens were normal as well. Each seizure occurred within minutes of vaping, thereby suggesting a temporal association and a possible causal relationship between e-cigarettes and seizures.
我们报告了一例在从青少年到青年的五年时间跨度内，因使用电子烟引发三次癫痫发作的病例。就诊时，神经系统检查无异常。头部计算机断层扫描（CT）、脑部磁共振成像（MRI）、脑电图（EEG）、心电图（EKG）和经胸超声心动图（TTE）均正常。多次毒理学筛查也正常。每次癫痫发作都发生在吸电子烟后的几分钟内，因此提示电子烟与癫痫发作之间存在时间关联和可能的因果关系。
