Abstract We describe a case of poisoning with 3,4-methylenedioxymet-amphetamine Ecstasy that presented with all the features suggestive of a fatal outcome, including a creatinine phosphokinase level markedly higher than any previously reported. The patient, a paraplegic, was treated with dantrolene and made a full recovery.
