[Consequences of abuse of inhalants].
The work reviews large scale of serious somatic and psychic damages resultant from chronical, but also the acute, intoxication with various solvents. It gives the brief description of the most frequent somatic damages that have been already sorted as the specific and special entities, such as the Fankony's syndrome, "hufer's" neuropathy and further to the characteristic psyhoorganic syndrome or bone marrow aplasia. Regardless it is only a simple erytheme or a serious liver and kidney damage appearing as a result of the solvents abuse, it is constantly emphasized that out of all chemical solvents, the toluene has the most pathogenic effect. However, the most important part of the study reviews the detailed description of the sniffers' sudden death syndrome. That has not been even mentioned in our literature so far, but in practice we have also met often this tragic end of the younge solvents takers.
