Cocaine-Induced Stroke in A Young Patient
Authors: Mohamed Amine Mnaili, Ahmed Bourazza.
Abstract
Cocaine consumption has increased over the last decade. The potent sympathomimetic effects of the drug can lead to serious neurovascular complications in the form of ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A young adult patient arrived at a specialized unit with neurological deficits and a history of acute and long-term illicit drug use and presented no other comorbidities. In addition, he presented laboratory and serological tests without alterations. The only risk factor identified for stroke was, therefore, cocaine use.
