Abstract

The authors reported and reviewed 7 cases of seizures among 53 chronic alcoholics who had been hospitalized in Kyung Hee University Hospital from Jan. 1, 1979 to Mar. 31, 1983. Case 1 was considered to be alcohol withdrawal seizure (so called ""rum fit"") in terms of it's clinical and laboratory findings. And other 6 cases, which had no past history of epilepsy and had been drinking alcoholic beverages for 9.6 years on the average before the appearances of seizures, were considered to belong to alcoholinduced seizures.
