Evidence is reviewed of an association between inhalant abuse during pregnancy with adverse health effects on the mother and the newborn. Most evidence comes from case reports in solvent abusers as well, as some studies of occupational exposure to various abused solvents and nitrous oxide. In these case reports, it is not possible to establish a direct teratogenic effect for specific abused chemicals independent of the poor maternal health and prenatal care as well as other risk factors that may have accompanied inhalant abuse lifestyles. Results of animal studies provide more direct evidence for adverse effects of in utero exposure to the widely abused solvents, toluene and trichloroethane (TCE). Proper diagnosis and treatment of inhalant abuse during pregnancy should help minimize harm to the fetus.
