Abstract
An adult chronically sniffed gasoline vapor, and lead encephalopathy developed. The diagnosis of organic lead intoxication was established in this patient, who presented clinically with a chronic psychosis. The unique complication of lead encephalopathy, with the unusually high blood lead level, is explained by the methodical and intense inhalation of partially evaporated gasoline. Recognition and treatment of lead encephalopathy is important for future cases.
