Prolonged Cerebellar Dysfunction Associated With Paint-Sniffing

Col Thomas W. Kelly MC1

1 USA Chief, Neurology Service Box 332 Tripler Army Medical Center APO San Francisco, California 96438

This is the second reported case of cerebellar impairment attributed to chronic toluene inhalation. Sniffing of substances containing this solvent is not uncommon. Minimal cases might be detected if careful neurological observation is employed. Prevention of further damage by abstinence from the habit seems possible as judged by the course of the present patient. More importantly, potential abusers might be prevented from starting this pernicious practice with the knowledge that definite, persistent neurologic abnormalities can result.
