Summary

Cerebrovascular disorders, contribute to the morbidity and disability associated with illicit drug use, which may be the most common predisposing condition for stroke among patients under 35 years of age. We present the case of young man with multiple illicit drug addiction and no other vascular risk factors, who presented with acute ischemic stroke and complex cardiovascular etiopathogenic mechanism. We summarize stroke mechanisms by illicit drug and stroke type and suggestion for the management of these challenging cases
