Abstract:
We report an ingestion of Vicia tetrasperma (four-seeded vetch), initially misidentified as crown vetch (Coronilla varia). Vicia tetrasperma is not listed in POISINDEX; little is known of its toxic effects and we found no published human case reports. The child suffered only minor gastrointestinal effects which lasted a few hours and had no residual effects upon 24- and 96-hour followups.
