Abstract
Intoxication among children is frequently observed among patients visiting pediatric emergency clinics. Inappropriately taken dosages of frequently used drugs which have adverse effects are among remarkably frequent reasons of these visits. In this case report the focus is on 7-year-old monozygotic twins with no previous health problems, who came to the pediatric emergency clinic with a dystonic contraction complaint starting simultaneously in both of them.
