Abstract

Solvent sniffing has become of increasing concern in the last few decades with the widespread availability of solvent-based chemical products. The people using it can present to emergency department with sudden sniffing death and some times with multi organ dysfunction. So one has to keep in mind the possibility of solvent sniffing also in children presenting with such life threatening features.

Key Words: Siddem sniffing death, grandiosity, Immense strength, slurred speech
