Illicit drug use is an important cause of stroke in young adults and poses a serious public health problem. The use of psychostimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine has been found to be associated with higher rates of stroke, and the risk of hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes increases through different mechanisms. In this report, we discuss the possible pathophysiological pathways of cerebrovascular damage in three patients using cocaine, methamphetamine, and cannabis.

Madde kullanımı nedenli serebrovasküler hastalık vakaları

Öz

Yasadışı madde kullanımı genç erişkinlerde önemli bir inme nedenidir ve ciddi bir halk sağlığı sorunu teşkil etmektedir. Kokain ve metamfetamin gibi psikostimülanların kullanımı daha yüksek inme oranları ile ilişkilendirilmiş olup hemorajik ve iskemik inme riski farklı mekanizmalarla artmaktadır. Bu sunumda kokain, metamfetamin ve esrar kullanan üç hastada serebrovasküler hasarın olası patofizyolojik mekanizmaları tartışılmıştır.
