  • Title: [Nervous system impairment caused by solvents].
    Author: Kyvik KR, Moen B.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1990 Apr 30; 110(11):1342-5. PubMed ID: 2339379.
    Abstract:
    Exposure to organic solvents may impair the function of the peripheral and the central nervous system. This paper describes the results of neurological and neuropsychological examinations of 19 patients with a chronic organic solvent intoxication syndrome. During examination they presented clinical findings diagnosed as polyneuropathy, encephalopathy or both. The syndromes have no specific characteristics, and a qualified evaluation of alternative etiologies is compulsory. Experience from occupational medicine is essential for appraising exposure to solvents.
