acetone and Seizures

acetone has been researched along with Seizures in 26 studies

methyl ketone : A ketone of formula RC(=O)CH3 (R =/= H).

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.
