TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Psychosis following styrene exposure: a case report of neuropsychological sequelae JO - Journal of clinical and experimental neuropsychology A1 - White, D. M. A1 - Daniell, W. E. A1 - Maxwell, J. K. A1 - Townes, B. D. SP - 798 EP - 806 VL - 12 IS - 5 N2 - A patient with a significant history of substance abuse was exposed to styrene and other solvents in the workplace. He became acutely psychotic, experiencing visual hallucinations. The psychosis was controlled with neuroleptic medications and avoidance of solvent exposure, but he continued to show significant deficits in visual-spatial and memory abilities. These deficits cleared with time away from the workplace. The case is of interest in terms of neuropsychological sequelae of solvent exposure and potential interaction of solvents with alcohol and recreational drugs.
