Drug use is a well-kown risk factor for cerebrovascular disease in young people. Cannabis is the most widely consumed among the illicit drugs worldwide, but it has only exceptionally been associated to cerebrovascular disease.
We here describe 2 young patients (26 and 29 years, respectively) who suffered from ischemic stroke in temporal relation with cannabis consumption.
The review of the literature on this topic reveals another 18 patients with stroke in association to cannabis use. They all were young people with ischemic stroke. Although a causal relationship is difficult to establish due to the widespread use of cannabis, this drug may play an etiologic role in ischemic stroke.
药物使用是年轻人患脑血管疾病的一个众所周知的风险因素。大麻是全球非法药物中消费最为广泛的，但仅有个别情况与脑血管疾病相关。
我们在此描述2例年轻患者（分别为26岁和29岁），他们在吸食大麻后不久发生了缺血性中风。
对该主题的文献综述发现另外18例与使用大麻相关的中风患者。他们均为患有缺血性中风的年轻人。尽管由于大麻的广泛使用难以确定因果关系，但这种药物可能在缺血性中风中起病因学作用。
