【Exposure Effects】

Truncal ataxia has been reported in acute intoxication in children. Ataxia, lethargy, cerebral edema, sudden apnea, tonic muscle spasms, hyperreflexia, intracranial hemorrhage, and absence of deep tendon reflexes, corneal reflexes, pupillary response, and gag reflex have been noted. Variations in coma do not correlate with plasma glutethimide concentrations. An isoelectric eeg may occur.
