Red blood cells carry oxygen in the body and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase 
protects these cells from oxidative chemicals. If there is a lack of 
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, red blood cells can go acute hemolysis. 
Convulsion is a rare presentation for acute hemolysis due to Glucose-6-Phosphate 
Dehydrogenase deficiency. Herein, we report a case report of a 
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency diagnosed patient after 
presentation with convulsion. A 70 year-old woman patient had been hospitalized 
because of convulsion and fatigue. She has not had similar symptoms before. She 
had ingested fava beans in the last two days. Her hypophyseal and brain magnetic 
resonance imaging were normal. Blood transfusion was performed and the patient 
recovered.
