Abstract
An optometrist and a glue sniffer exposed independently to toluene vapors developed cerebellar, pyramidal, and cognitive dysfunction. All deficits cleared completely in the former but persisted in the latter. The findings confirm a previous report of a toluene‐induced neurological syndrome that is exclusively central, sparing peripheral nerves.Keywords
