The commonly used term for solvent abuse, glue sniffing, generally encompasses a variety of substances, including spray paint, thinners, nail varnish remover, gasoline, marking pens, and lighter fluids. Inhaled vapours eventually reach the lipids in the nervous system, where they can be stored for long periods. In three cases of glue-sniffing-related neurotoxicity, the peripheral nervous system was affected in two cases and predominantly the central nervous system in the third. Unfortunately follow up is difficult with this patient population and symptoms are often complicated by alcohol abuse.
常用的溶剂滥用术语“胶水吸食”，通常涵盖多种物质，包括喷漆、稀释剂、指甲油去除剂、汽油、记号笔和打火机液体。吸入的蒸气最终会到达神经系统中的脂质，在那里它们可以长期储存。在三例与胶水吸食相关的神经毒性病例中，两例影响了周围神经系统，第三例主要影响了中枢神经系统。不幸的是，对这一患者群体进行随访很困难，而且症状常常因酒精滥用而复杂化。
