Despite increasing public interest and a growing number of novel potential neurotoxins, diagnosis of neurotoxic disease is often delayed or missed, resulting in poorer patient outcomes. This article discusses neurotoxic syndromes using a systems-based approach, focusing on environmental and occupational agents. We do not discuss recreational drugs, pharmaceutical agents or developmental neurotoxins in detail. We aim to provide neurologists with a working understanding of the scenarios in which a clinical presentation may be due to a neurotoxin and how to approach confirmation of the diagnosis.
