The pathophy siological mechanisms of cocaine-related stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Cocaine is usually used in clinical local anesthesia. However, because of its excitatory effect, it is also abused by some people, and thus results in the onset of disease. Since the first cocaine-related stroke was reported in 1977, many researchers have gradually realized that cocaine abuse causes many cerebrovascular diseases; its exact pathophysiological mechanism remains unknown and it may be involved in a variety of mechanisms.
