Introduction Datura stramonium poisoning, resulting from the ingestion of seeds, leaves, or flowers of Datura stramonium, is a severe condition with significant risks, particularly for young children. Most documented cases of Datura stramonium poisoning in the literature involve teenagers who intentionally ingest the plant to induce hallucinogenic and euphoric experiences. This report presents a rare instance of unintentional Datura stramonium poisoning in a 3year-old Ethiopian toddler. Case presentation He presented with symptoms consistent with anticholinergic toxidrome, including altered mental status, agitation, seizures, dilated pupils, and tachycardia. Laboratory tests, including complete blood count, liver function test, renal function test, electrolyte levels and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were normal. Results of blood toxicology screen were negative. Timely recognition and supportive care lead to a positive outcome. Conclusion Through this report, we aim to add to the limited body of literature on Datura stramonium poisoning in toddlers and offer insights into its clinical course and management in paediatric patients.
