Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Oral Amphetamine

Cerebrovascular Complications of Methamphetamine Abuse

“…Our series confirmed an association of methamphetamine usage with ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage as has been shown in smaller case series or case reports (Table 6) [4][5][6][7]. We observed a predominance of vascular pathology in the anterior circulation with respect to vessel stenoses, atherosclerosis, and aneurysm location.…”

Excessive oral amphetamine use as a possible cause of renal and splanchnic arterial aneurysms: A report of two cases

“…However, amphetamines must be considered a possible contributor to arterial disease in this individual who died at the age of 41 years of a cerebrovascular accident. Similar events have been previously ascribed to amphetamines in both humans 5,9,[13][14][15] and experimental animals. 12,13 Perhaps most revealing regarding the vascular effects of these substances was a report on deaths as results of ruptured intracranial berry aneurysms and ruptured aortic dissections among individuals with acute methamphetamine intoxication.…”

Stroke Associated with Methamphetamine Inhalation

“…The generally accepted mechanisms of stroke in am phetamine abusers include vasculopathy and initial hy pertension [1,3,14], Cerebral angiography in 5 of our patients (4 ICH and 1 Cl) showed no 'beading' or irregu larity (vasculopathy) [ 1,3,14] or stenosis of the ICA [15]. However, absence of these findings does not necessarily exclude 'vasculopathy', since an animal study [8] has demonstrated that amphetamine-related vasculitis most frequently involves vessels below 100 pm in diameter.…”
