A Rare Cause of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Herbal Chocolate

Abstract

The frequency of use of many food supplements sold under the name of herbal products has increased today. As a result of easy access to the whole society with tools such as television, radio and especially the internet, many such products sold uncontrolled and outside the control of physicians can cause serious health problems. Our case reports a 65-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency service with a headache and left arm numbness. In the detailed history taken, it was learned that he used a herbal product without the recommendation and control of the physician in order to increase sexual power. It was learned that he did not have any known disease, operation, and medicine used under the control of a physician. It is known that such herbal products cause serious neurological events. The use of these products should be questioned, especially in patients who are admitted to the emergency department with acute neurological complaints and have no apparent medical history.
