Seizures in Hospitalized Cocaine Users
Neurol 39:425-427, Choy-Kwong,M.&Lipton,R.B., 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We reviewed the records of 283 cocaine abusers consecutively admitted to a municipal hospital,and identified eight patients(2.8%)who presented with seizures.Four(1.4%)had focal or generalized seizure temporally associated with cocaine use.Based on these four cases and five previous reports,we conclude that although seizures are relatively rare in hospitalized cocaine users,they are provoked by all major routes of administration,and may be partial or generalized.
