title: Acute trimethyltin limbic-cerebellar syndrome.
abstract: An acute limbic-cerebellar syndrome was seen in six industrial workers who inhaled trimethyltin (TMT). Clinical features included hearing loss, disorientation, confabulation, amnesia, aggressiveness, hyperphagia, disturbed sexual behavior, complex partial and tonic-clonic seizures, nystagmus, ataxia, and mild sensory neuropathy. Severity paralleled maximal urinary organotin levels. One patient died and two remained seriously disabled.
