Chronic exposure to organic solvents may cause permanent cognitive impairment. The nonspecify of neurological signs as the abnormalities of neurophysiological tests and morphological neuroimaging techniques have oblige the use of clinic neuropsychology in the monitorization of the neurotoxicity cause by these substances. The new modern functional neuroimaging techniques can contribute to the diagnosis of brain lesions caused by the exposure to organic solvents. We report a case that clearly supports this hypothesis as we emphasize the correlation found between clinical symptoms and the deficits obtained after the study of cerebral blood flow with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
长期接触有机溶剂可能会导致永久性认知障碍。神经体征不具有特异性，神经生理学测试和形态学神经影像学技术的异常情况使得在监测这些物质所致神经毒性时必须使用临床神经心理学方法。新的现代功能性神经影像学技术有助于诊断由接触有机溶剂引起的脑损伤。我们报告了一个病例，该病例明确支持这一假设，因为我们强调了临床症状与通过单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）研究脑血流后发现的缺陷之间的相关性。
