Chronic methylphenidate abuse can lead to serious neurological complications. This case highlights cerebral infarction as a potential risk associated with long-term stimulant use.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pharmacology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Methylphenidate is a central nervous system stimulant prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy.
  • Psychostimulants, including methylphenidate, carry a risk of abuse and associated adverse effects.

Observation:

  • A case report details a young man who developed a cerebral lacunar infarction.
  • The infarction occurred subsequent to chronic oral abuse of methylphenidate.

Findings:

  • Cerebral infarction is identified as a potential adverse event linked to sustained methylphenidate consumption.
  • Literature review supports the association between chronic methylphenidate use and cerebrovascular events.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be aware of the cerebrovascular risks associated with methylphenidate misuse.
