Abstract
Case Report: A 21-year-old man who had sniffed toluene since the age of 13 presented with a 4-year history of progressive cerebellar dysfunction and visual deterioration. The patient's condition did not improve despite 5 months of abstinence. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral atrophy and hypointensity signals in the white matter and bilaterally in the globus pallidus, thalamus, red nucleus, and substantia nigra. Amantadine hydrochloride therapy (100 mg/d, then 200 mg/d) resulted in dramatic improvement of his cerebellar and visual symptoms.
