title: Neuropsychological and EEG evaluation in exposure to trichloroethylene.
abstract: After 1 year of exposure to trichloroethylene, reversible neuropsychological impairment and persistent EEG paroxysms were observed in one patient. The improvement of neuropsychological performances and the persistence of severe EEG abnormalities after withdrawal of the toxin suggest "functional" cerebral damage after prolonged exposure to trichloroethylene.
