Cocaine use is increasingly linked to strokes, primarily affecting young men. This drug can cause various stroke types, often associated with vascular abnormalities, with hemorrhage being more common than infarction.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Toxicology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Cocaine use is a known risk factor for cerebrovascular events.
  • Understanding the specific patterns and associations of cocaine-related strokes is crucial for clinical management.

Observation:

  • This study analyzed 8 new cases and 39 literature cases of stroke associated with cocaine use.
  • The average patient age was 32.5 years, with 76% being male.
  • Strokes occurred via multiple cocaine administration routes (inhalation, intranasal, intravenous, intramuscular).

Findings:

  • Cocaine-associated strokes are increasing, predominantly in young adults.
  • Intracranial aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations were found in 17/32 patients.
  • Intracerebral hemorrhage (49%) was more frequent than cerebral infarction (22%), followed by subarachnoid hemorrhage (29%).

Implications:

  • Cocaine use is a significant risk factor for stroke in young adults.
  • Clinicians should consider cocaine use in young stroke patients, especially those with vascular abnormalities.
  • The high incidence of hemorrhage warrants specific diagnostic and management considerations.
