Spastic paraparesis following cocaine inhalation.

Henry Oluwasefunmi Savage¹, Malin Roesner, David Cohen.

Abstract

Cocaine use is reaching epidemic proportions in the UK and the consequences are a number of debilitating effects. Strokes may result from a number of mechanisms related to cocaine use. This report describes a case of cocaine induced stroke in an apparently healthy young man with unusual patterns of radiological findings on his brain MRI.
