Abstract

Sudden sniffing death syndrome due to toluene ex- posure is an outcome of the progressive social problem of intentional substance inhalation abuse. There is limited evi- dence about the biological mechanisms of toluene-induced sudden death, although toluene exposure is prevalent as a volatile solvent used in industrial settings. Toluene is known to possess toxic effects on many organs, most dramatically on the heart. Sudden death may result directly from ven- tricular tachyarrhythmias and severe bradycardia due to the cardiac toxicities of toluene. Toluene may also result in car- diomyopathy, myocarditis, and myocardial infarction, all of which are known to be associated with sudden death. In addition to its toxicity on the heart, this solvent is also toxic to the lungs, kidneys, nervous system, and bone marrow, which may contribute to the mechanism of sudden sniffing death due to toluene exposure. For these reasons, toluene- induced sudden death is discussed in this paper as a comp- lex combination of the toxicities of toluene to the heart and other organs.

Özet

Toluene bağlı ani koklama ölüm sendromu; toluen so- lunmasının ölümcül bir sonucudur ki bu durum giderek bü- yüyen bir sosyal sorundur. Toluen’e maruziyet stimülan ajan olarak ya da endüstride kullanımı şeklinde yaygın olsa da toluene bağlı ani ölümün biyolojik mekanizmaları hakkında sınırlı bilgi vardır. En dramatiği kalp üzerine olmak üzere to- luenin birçok organ üzerine toksik etkisinin olduğu bilinmek- tedir. Ani ölüm toluenin kalp üzerine doğrudan toksik etkile- ri sonucu gelişen ventriküler taşiaritmi ya da ciddi bradikardi neticesinde doğrudan gelişebilir. Bu madde aynı zamanda kardiyomyopati, miyokardit ve miyokard infaktüsü gibi ani ölümle yakından ilişkili hastalıklara neden olabilir. Toluenin akciğerler, böbrekler, sinir sistemi ve kemik iliği gibi toluene bağlı ani ölüm mekanizmasına katkıda bulanabilecek organ- lar üzerine toksik etkileri vardır. Sonuç olarak, bu derlemede toluene bağlı ani ölümün maddenin kalp ve birçok organ üzerine toksik etkilerin karmaşık bir kombinasyonu sonucu geliştiği tartışılmıştır.
