VSA should be suspected in children and adolescents with drunken behavior, unexplained listlessness, anorexia, and moodiness. The hair, breath, and clothing may smell of solvent, and empty adhesive tubes or other containers, potato crisp bags, cigarette lighter refills, or aerosol spray cans are often fovmd.

An apparatus was developed by Craig for carrying out countercurrent distribution efficiently. The apparatus consists of a series of vessels of the same size connected to each other (Fig. 2). Initially each vessel is half filled with heavier solvent which may be called solvent B. The sample dissolved in the lighter solvent, i.e., solvent A is filled in flask 1 above the heavier solvent. The assembly is shaken to achieve equilibrium. The tap interconnecting the vessel with flask 2 is now opened and the upper lighter phase is allowed to flow into the 2"< flask. The first flask is refilled with fresh aliquot of solvent A and the process is repeated. This apparatus makes it easy to perform countercurrent chromatography.
