N2  - The study was carried out 11 boys, 12-17 years old, treated in the Therapeutic-Educational Guidance Center for the Young because of using inhalant stupefacients and incliniation to alcohol abuse. The inhalant stupefacients were taken for a period of 6 months to three years, of alcohol--from 6 months to 2 years. The most common inhalant stupefacients were "Butapren" glue, trichlorethylene and "Roxy" fluid; wine and vodka were the alcohols used. No one patient displayed the full dependence syndrome, most of them (83%) had organic CNS damage, in 63% pathological EEG changes were recorded. The alcohol inebriation was accompanied by marked psychomotor excitation with cognitive disturbances, aggressiveness, anxiety, self-mutilation. One patient developed visual illusions and hallucinations. The findings suggest that the consequences of abuse of inhalant stupefacients significantly influence the syndrome of alcohol intoxication, potentiating the psychopathological signs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
