Two cases of bromide intoxication are reported. Although the serum bromide levels were not particularly high, they were related to typical neurological and psychiatric features of bromism. The authors wish to suggest that the rare syndrome of bromism be considered in the differential diagnosis of obscure or refractory neuro-psychiatric symptomatology.
