title: [A case of toxic psychosis caused by trichloroethylene].
abstract: A case of chronic intoxication by trichloroethylene--it is a liquid generally used as a fat solvent--is described in a young man aged eighteen who had been inhaling it for months while he was doing his military service. Hallucinatory symptoms--visual as well as verbal ones--appear over a slightly confusional basis but he also suffers from several psychotic symptoms like the feeling of a threat to his ego, depersonalization and some others. He is explored and evaluated by means of specific tests for psychotics--such as the Frankfurt psychopathological inventory which was introduced in Spain by these very authors. Structural and psychopathological relations among different types of psychoses--mainly those which are purely hallucinatory and the schizophreniform ones--are discussed based on their our doctrinal theories quoted in the bibliography.
