We present three cases of “crack” cocaine-associated stroke, together with a review of cocaine-associated cerebrovascular complications. Unlike previously reported cases tentatively associating ischemic stroke with cocaine, our patients had no other potential causes for their strokes. Although the exact mechanism of cocaine-related stroke remains uncertain, both disordered neurogenic control of the cerebral circulation as well as systemic factors (ie, acute hypertension) may play a role. |
