Cerebral infarction associated with cocaine use.
We report the case of a young man with an acute infarction of the left putamen and caudate nucleus, whose symptoms appeared six hours after intranasal use of approximately 0.5 g of cocaine hydrochloride. It seems probably that in this patient cocaine consumption played a role in the development of stroke.
