Abstract
After seven months of seizure freedom, following a late night at work, she had an early morning seizure characterized by eyelid fluttering followed by a GTC convulsion. We cannot say with absolute certainty that vaping was the proximal cause of this patient's seizure exacerbation; however, the temporal relation to her cluster of seizures is suggestive.
