Neurol 41:282-285, Maas,E.F.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
We studied the ocular motor abnormalities in 4 patients chronically addicted to sniffing glue containing toluene.They showed acquired pendular nystagmus with horizontal and vertical components.One patient also showed saccadic oscillations.The pendular nystagmus may be a manifestation of a disturbance in brainstem-cerebellar connections secondary to the toxic effect of toluene on white matter.
