Methamphetamine inhalation can cause ischemic stroke, a type of brain injury. This study details three cases of stroke linked to inhaling methamphetamine, highlighting a serious neurological risk.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Toxicology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Methamphetamine use is associated with cerebrovascular events.
  • Previous reports linked oral and intravenous methamphetamine to intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.

Observation:

  • Three cases of ischemic stroke following methamphetamine inhalation are presented.
  • Patients presented with neurological deficits consistent with stroke.

Findings:

  • Cerebral infarction was confirmed via neuroimaging.
  • The temporal association between methamphetamine inhalation and stroke onset was established.

Implications:

  • Methamphetamine inhalation represents a significant risk factor for ischemic stroke.
