Abstract

We present a series of cases of oleander seed poisoning manifested by vomiting, lightheadedness, and heart block. It is interesting that oleander poisoning can be fatal with relatively small amounts ingested.

Aims & Objectives: Practicing physicians should understand the potential lethal properties of oleander, its easy availability and well known toxicity that has caused it to be used as self- harm throughout the world.

Discussion: We have presented 3 cases of yellow oleander seed ingestion used for self- harm. All three patients were young admitted in medicine ICU with same cardiovascular finding that is bradycardia and their ECG showing varying degree of heart block. All three patient’s duration of hospital stay was 3-4 days and they remain asymptomatic during their hospitalization and at the time of discharge as well.
