摘要

Toxic leukoencephalopathy is an important complication of heroin abuse and has mostly been described after inhaling heroin vapor, known as “chasing the dragon syndrome” or heroin inhalation leukoencephalopathy (HIL). We present a 51 year-old male patient with toxic leukoencephalopathy following intranasal administration of heroin.
