Abstract
A case of generalised seizures following ingestion of 20 cc of endosulphan (Endocel), an organochloride insecticide is presented. The patient, a young male of 25 years made a complete recovery. The mode of action of endosulphan is due to involvement of cholinergic neuronal system and the management is on the line of status epilepticus.
