ethylene glycol has been researched along with Epilepsy in 1 studies
Ethylene Glycol: A colorless, odorless, viscous dihydroxy alcohol. It has a sweet taste, but is poisonous if ingested. Ethylene glycol is the most important glycol commercially available and is manufactured on a large scale in the United States. It is used as an antifreeze and coolant, in hydraulic fluids, and in the manufacture of low-freezing dynamites and resins.
ethanediol : Any diol that is ethane or substituted ethane carrying two hydroxy groups.
ethylene glycol : A 1,2-glycol compound produced via reaction of ethylene oxide with water.
Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

Do elevated osmolal and anion gaps with crystalluria always mean ethylene glycol poisoning? ( Abu Sitta, E; Gaddam, M; Kanzy, A; Velagapudi, RK, 2017) |
