Abstract

“Ecstasy”, is a three ring-substituted, methoxylated analogue of metamphetamine is widely used reactional drug, which may cause cerebrovascular accidents, including cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral venous thrombosis. An 18-year old man had vertigo, left lower and upper extremity weakness and incontinence symptoms. The patient had taken “Ecstasy” several times in 4-5 months. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed an acute infarction at the posterior limb of the right internal capsule in the anterior chorodial artery area . Conventional cerebral angiogram demonstrated high grade stenosis of supraclinoid segment of the right internal carotid artery (ICA) and irregular vessel wall. We believe the present case in which there were no other recognized risk factors for cerebrovascular disease, is the first to suggest a link between ICA dissection with ecstasy abuse.

Özet

“Ekstazi ”,üç halkalı , metoksile metamfetamin analoğu olup serebral infarkt , serebral kanama ve serebral venöz tromboz gibi serebrovasküler olaylara neden olabilen keyif verici maddedir. 4-5 ay içerisinde birkaç kez “ Ekstazi “ kullandığını belirten 18 yaşında erkek hastada sol alt ve üst ekstremitede güçsüzlük ve inkontinans semptomları mevcuttu. Difüzyon ağırlıklı manyetik rezonans görüntülemede (MR) anterior koroidal arter sahasına uyan sağ kapsüla interna posterior limbinde akut enfarkt izlendi. Dijital substraksiyon anjiografi incelemesinde olgumuzda sağ internal karotis arter (İKA) supraklinoid segmentinde ileri derecede stenoz ve damar duvarında düzensizliği mevcuttu. Serebrovasküler hastalık açısından hiçbir risk faktörü taşımadığından olgumuzun Ekstazi kullanımı ile internal karotis arter (İKA) diseksiyonu arasındaki ilişkiyi gösterdiğini düşünmekteyiz.
