Abstrakt
Causality of marijuana abuse with development of ischemic stroke has been indicated by numerous case reports and epidmiological studies. As a possible pathophysiological mechanism, the most common consideration is cardic embolization during paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, systemic hypotension or multifocal intracerebral vasoconstriction.
Case reports: We present three case reports of marijuana consumers who were admitted to our comprehensive stroke center due to ischemic stroke within 18-month period of our investigation.
