Abstract

A Japanese male who became habituated to sniffing toluene exhibited ataxia, tremor, incoordination and equilibrium disorders. There was pendular nystagmus with a normal caloric response. There were an inhibition of optokinetic nystagmus and a failure to follow over 0.1 Hz sine waves on eye tracking test. Angiogram and pneumoencephalogram revealed an atrophy of the midbrain and cerebrum, and degeneration of the cerebellum was suspected.

摘要

一名对嗅吸甲苯上瘾的日本男性出现了共济失调、震颤、不协调和平衡障碍。存在钟摆型眼球震颤，冷热试验反应正常。视动性眼球震颤受到抑制，在眼跟踪测试中无法跟踪超过0.1赫兹的正弦波。血管造影和气脑造影显示中脑和大脑萎缩，怀疑小脑有变性。
