toluene and Microcephaly

toluene has been researched along with Microcephaly in 5 studies

methylbenzene : Any alkylbenzene that is benzene substituted with one or more methyl groups.

Microcephaly: A congenital abnormality in which the CEREBRUM is underdeveloped, the fontanels close prematurely, and, as a result, the head is small. (Desk Reference for Neuroscience, 2nd ed.)

"They had microcephaly, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, seizures, growth failure and minor craniofacial anomalies, variable growth deficiency including a small midface, narrow bifrontal diameter, low-set ears, thin upper lips and micrognathia."5.30[Two cases of toluene embryopathy with severe motor and intellectual disabilities syndrome]. ( Aida, N; Arai, H; Hara, M; Iwamoto, H; Miyake, S; Yamada, M; Yamashita, S, 1997)
"To determine if maternal toluene abuse produces any structural or developmental disabilities in the developing fetus, a cohort of toluene-exposed infants was ascertained and examined."4.79Toluene embryopathy: delineation of the phenotype and comparison with fetal alcohol syndrome. ( Hoyme, HE; Pearson, MA; Rimsza, ME; Seaver, LH, 1994)
"Toluene embryopathy is characterised by microcephaly, central nervous system dysfunction, attentional deficits and hyperactivity, developmental delay with greater language deficits, minor craniofacial and limb anomalies, and variable growth deficiency."3.67Toluene embryopathy: two new cases. ( Hersh, JH, 1989)
"Three children with microcephaly, central nervous system dysfunction, minor craniofacial and limb anomalies, and variable growth deficiency were born to women who inhaled large quantities of pure toluene throughout pregnancy."3.67Toluene embryopathy. ( Hersh, JH; Podruch, PE; Rogers, G; Weisskopf, B, 1985)
"They had microcephaly, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, seizures, growth failure and minor craniofacial anomalies, variable growth deficiency including a small midface, narrow bifrontal diameter, low-set ears, thin upper lips and micrognathia."1.30[Two cases of toluene embryopathy with severe motor and intellectual disabilities syndrome].
