- Abstract
- Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication of amphethamine abuse, and cerebral vasculitis as a cause of the hemorrhage has been demonstrated by arteriography or autopsy findings. We report a 22-year-old female, an occasional methamphetamine abuser over 1 to 2 months, who presented with the sudden onset of bifrontal headache, nausea and vomiting immediately after an intravenous injection of methamphetamine. Imaging studies demonstrated intracerebral hemorrhage and subdural hemorrhage associated with cerebral vasculitis. To our knowledge, this entity has not been previously reported in Korea.
