Abstract

The prevalence of toluene abuse in women of reproductive age is growing and little is known about toluenes effects on neonatal outcomes. The authors report the case of a 28-year-old woman with major depression, panic disorder, and multi-drug dependence (nicotine, cocaine, opiates, and toluene) and discuss approaches to the evaluation and treatment of these clinically complex patients. The authors also suggest preventive measures as well as areas for future research.
