Cocaine-related intracranial hemorrhage. Report of nine cases and review.
Nine cases of intracranial hemorrhages related to cocaine usage are presented. Another 5 cases from the literature are reviewed. The relationship between severe cocaine-induced hypertension, and the development of subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhages is noted, and apparently is related to sudden transient increases of blood pressure related to cocaine use.
