Abstract

An optometrist and a glue sniffer exposed independently to toluene vapors developed cerebellar, pyramidal, and cognitive dysfunction. All deficits cleared completely in the former but persisted in the latter. The findings confirm a previous report of a toluene-induced neurological syndrome that is exclusively central, sparing peripheral nerves.

摘要

一名验光师和一名独立接触甲苯蒸气的胶水吸食者出现了小脑、锥体和认知功能障碍。前者的所有缺陷完全消除，但后者的缺陷持续存在。这些发现证实了之前关于甲苯诱导的神经综合征的报告，该综合征仅影响中枢，不累及周围神经。
