Abstract :One of the most frequent causes of seizures in children is an acute symptomatic seizure. To forecast risk of recurrence of seizure, it\`s crucial to identify the trigger element at the root of the problem. Cyanide inhibits cell oxygen utilization and cellular respiration through inactivation of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase. Cyanide is one of the most lethal toxins ever discovered for the human body. Early treatment enables the avoidance of harmful outcomes, including death. This case report represents case of a 2-year-old girl presented with an acute symptomatic seizure after eating a few apricot kernels and her quick recovery with antidote after cyanide poisoning was suspected. The patient was discharged without experiencing any long-term effects of cyanide poisoning.
