    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Reports of accidental alkaloid-intoxications with plants of the nightshade family, in particular Datura-species are well known in pediatric care. The intentional abuse as a hallucinogenic drug in adolescents became more frequent in recent years. Two patients, a 14- resp. 16-year old boy were admitted to the intensive care units of our hospitals because of a severe central anticholinergic syndrome after ingestion of tea from Angel’s Trumpet blossoms for experimental reasons. Patient’s history in the first somnolent patient was not available at the time of admission, a routine immunological drug screening of the patient’s urine had been negative. Discussion: Prominent central nervous symptoms as unconsciousness or hallucinations in adolescents without further explanation should suggest a special toxicological analysis for tropan-alcaloids e.g. scopolamine because of increasing abuse of plants containing the drug.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Akzidentelle Intoxikationen von Nachtschattengewächsen bei Kindern sind bereits häufiger beschrieben worden. In jüngster Zeit nimmt der bewußte Mißbrauch insbesondere von Daturaarten als Rauschmittel bei Heranwachsenden deutlich zu. Wir berichten über 2 14 bzw. 16jährige Jugendliche, die aus Experimentierfreudigkeit einen Tee aus Engelstrompetenblüten getrunken hatten und sich wegen eines ausgeprägten zentralen anticholinergen Syndroms auf unseren Intensivstationen behandeln lassen mußten. Im ersten Fall, einem somnolenten Patienten, war zunächst keine Anamnese verfügbar, ein immunologisches Drogen-Screening im Urin blieb ohne richtungsweisendes Ergebnis. Diskussion: Auch bei im Vordergrund stehender Bewußtseinstrübung oder paranoid-halluzinatorischen Symptomen sollte insbesondere bei Jugendlichen an eine Ingestion von Tropanalkaloiden bzw. eine Skopolaminintoxikation durch Ziergewächse wie Engelstrompete oder Stechapfel gedacht und gezielt danach gesucht werden.

    Notes: Abstract From July 1989 to June 1991 135 discs on 129 patients were treated, in about twothirds at level L4/5 and at the remaining one third L5/S1.15% (n = 2) failed technically. Sixty eight patients are in the 1-year follow-up. Average age was 41 years (range 16–68 years). Average pain duration was 12 months, and average aspiration time was 25.8 min (range 15–45 min). All patients had contained disc lesions, suffered from radicular symptoms and had not responded to conservative treatment. 67,1% (group A, n =45) had a failure rate of 17,8%. Patients with associated degenerations (group B, n = 7) had a failure rate of 35,3%. 80% of the patients with recurrent radicular symptoms (group C, interval patients, n = 6) were free of symptoms. Re herniation rate in all patients was 2.9%, and the laminectomy rate 4.4%. No major complications were noted. Treated disc level, patient aage, aspirated nucleus material and CT changes revealed no correlation to clinical success. Patients with associated degenerations (group B) as wellas those with longer pain duration and larger contained disc lesions had a significantly worse outcome.
