Abstract
Cocaine abuse is now known to result in a wide variety of medical illnesses. We report our experience with one patient who had abdominal pain and was found to have near-total infarction of all abdominal viscera. The cause of this and other medical complications of cocaine abuse (i.e., extreme vasoconstriction) is discussed in detail. Physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion when dealing with complaints of abdominal pain by cocaine users.Entities:
