A 2-year-old male child presented with status epilepticus following an accidental fall from the bed.  Initial management focused on trauma-related seizures, but further evaluation revealed camphor poisoning as the underlying cause which was identified by the presence of a camphor-like odor in the nasogastric aspirate and  confirmed  by toxicology. This case underscores the importance  of thorough  clinical  assessment  and  history-taking  in  cases  of unexplained  seizures.  The patient was successfully treated with  supportive  care,  including  intubation,  intravenous anticonvulsants,  fluid  therapy,  and  discharged  in  stable  condition. Camphor poisoning,  a  common  but  under recognized  cause  of  seizures  in  children,  occurs  in  areas  where  camphor-containing  products  are  widely  available. The best possible outcomes in a child can only be assured when a condition is detected early and managed promptly as supportive management. Additionally, public health measures should be instituted to regulate and restrict access to camphor in order to prevent accidental poisonings.
