A case of acute intoxication after both cutaneous and inhalatory absorption of a mixture of organic solvents (toluene and benzene) is reported. The peculiarity of this case is represented by the abnormal EEG findings: paroxysmal slow waves at the beginning of the intoxication, persisting, although attenuated, days after the patient's complete recovery. Moreover, the fact that other investigations were normal gives further support to the significance of routine EEG recording in monitoring the involvement of CNS in cases of acute exposure to aromatic organic solvents.
报告了一例因皮肤和吸入混合有机溶剂（甲苯和苯）而导致急性中毒的病例。该病例的独特之处在于脑电图（EEG）检查结果异常：中毒初期出现阵发性慢波，在患者完全康复数天后仍持续存在，尽管有所减弱。此外，其他检查均正常这一事实进一步支持了在监测急性接触芳香族有机溶剂病例中中枢神经系统受累情况时进行常规EEG记录的重要性。
