“…The relief of trigeminal neuralgia by TRI injection can be explained by the mechanism mentioned by BUXTON & HAYWORD (1967). Derangements within the psychic sphere in the shape of organic dementia (BORBELY 1946;TRENSE 1965) and other psychic disturbances (TODD 1954;HARENKO 1967) have been published.…”

Rabbits were given trichloroethylene parenterally in a subacute trial lasting for 29 days and in a chronic trial lasting from 41 to 247 days. Behaviour, body weight and sedimentation rate were followed. The rabbits were killed at different times during the trial and the brains examined histologically and histochemically for any pathological changes. Moderate changes in the form of diffuse chronic‐ischaemic or toxic nerve cell damage in the majority of the cranial nerve nuclei, in the Gasserian ganglion, the cerebellar cortex were demonstrated as well as increased neuronal acid phosphatase activity. However, no severe neurological disturbances and no changes in the sedimentation rate were noted. The clinically known neurological and/or psychic derangements in humans are discussed in relation to the present pathological findings in rabbits.

Sudden Death in Adolescents Resulting From the Inhalation of Typewriter Correction Fluid

Inhalation abuse of various toxic agents continues to be a significant health problem among the younger segment of our society. We describe four cases of sudden death in adolescents associated with recreational sniffing of typewriter correction fluid occurring during the period 1979 through mid-1984. The solvents used in most of these fluids, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene, are known to induce potentially fatal arrhythmias. Sniffing typewriter correction fluid poses a significant and underappreciated danger to the lives of these abusers. School health officials, public health departments, and law enforcement personnel should be alerted to the need for surveillance of this type of activity.
