Abstract
Inhalant or volatile substances are emerging as a major drug of abuse in the preadolescent and adolescent age group in recent times [1]. Among these substances, toluene is highly preferred by abusers. The commonest source is typewriter erasing fluid and thinner which contains toluene [2]. It is a poorly recognized risk for both morbidity and mortality in the young all over the world. Inhalants are preferred by young due to its easy availability, cost effectiveness, convenient packaging, lack of legal restrictions, instant high and acceptance by peers. We present a case report of an adolescent who presented with toluene abuse and responded well to treatment.
