“…Rarely, heroin-induced rhabdomyolysis can be complicated by other consequences of coma and pressure, leading to prolonged and incomplete recovery, as case reports have shown: myelitis, neuropathies and compartment syndromes can complicate the picture." 26 Compartment syndromes are not uncommon. Intracompartmental pressures should be measured when necessary, and fasciotomy may need to be performed.r" Once suspected, the diagnosis of heroin-induced rhabdomyolyosis is usually straightforward.…”

“…These findings contrast with those of other authors who have reported renal (O'Brien.

1 Twenty patients, aged eight to 14 years, were admitted to hospital over a six year period with an acute encephalopathy following toluene abuse. 2 In all cases toxicity was confined to the central nervous system. Electroencephalography performed in ten patients was abnormal in three. 3 Fourteen patients made a complete recovery, five had evidence of personality impairment but were lost to follow-up, one had a persistent cerebellar ataxia one year after admission, despite absence of exposure to toluene. 4 Solvent abuse may be impossible to establish on history, as in six of these patients. Blood assay of toluene is vital in such cases, as is an awareness that toluene abuse may lead to acute encephalopathy.

1 A scheme for the identification and evaluation of volatile substance abusers is outlined which emphasizes the need for medical history, drug history, emotional/behavioural and dependency questionnaires and physical examination. 2 Poor initial evaluation may lead to non-recognition of dependent abusers who may present later with more serious problems. 3 Suggestions for prevention and treatment of chronic abusers are discussed and some advice for parents is outlined.
