Subsequently, an eloquent neuropathological study of two paint sniffers appeared in 1994 in this journal (43). Case 1 was a 33-year-old man with a history of paint and glue sniffing since age 11, and Case 2 was a 41-year-old woman who had been addicted to paint sniffing for at least 9 years and died while inhaling paint fumes and drinking alcohol. The brain from both patients showed cerebral atrophy, with weights of 1,100 and 980 grams, respectively.
