| Abstract |
Two case-studies of late-onset epilepsy appearing in painters with heavy past exposure to organic solvents. Neither of the painters had shown any previous neurological symptoms or any other effects of exposure to solvents. Analysis of these cases and of the literature seems to support the hypothesis of a non-casual association between solvent exposure and epilepsy. |
