title: [Multiple cerebral embolism in acute alcoholic intoxication. A pathological case].
abstract: A 37 year-old man sustained 2 ischemic strokes during acute alcohol intoxication. One month after the onset of strokes, a spontaneous atrial flutter occurred. Autopsy revealed an embolic rostral occlusion of the basilar artery. Cardiac verification did not show myocardiopathy or coronary disease. The relations between acute alcoholic intoxication and paroxystic cardiac rhythm disorders are discussed.
