Özet

Drug addiction has become an important problem worldwide, and the number of heroin users has been rapidly increasing. Thereare serious complications related to intravenous drug use. Sharing injectors and using them multiple times cause septic and infectivecomplications. Another important aspect of intravenous drug use is that it potentiates vascular damage. Contaminated injectors may inducepseudoaneurysms when applied directly into the vessel, endothelium, or surrounding tissues. Infected pseudoaneurysms may provokenecrosis, rupture, bleeding, and some dramatic results such as loss of extremity or death. Herein, we report a female case who had a historyof long-term substance abuse in whom foot drop developed with a popliteal artery aneurysm.
