Curēus 2023 September
In this study, we describe an unusual occurrence of spinal cord infarct associated with acute usage of crack cocaine. A 64-year-old male patient was brought to the hospital after being found down, displaying weakness in his lower extremities and positive for cocaine use on a urine toxicology test. The patient was administered intravenous fluids and evaluated for syncope and rhabdomyolysis. Upon initial medical assessment, the patient exhibited sensation loss up to the level of the mid-thigh, paraplegia, urinary retention, and decreased rectal sphincter tone. Neurological examination and neurological imaging were suggestive of acute spinal cord infarct.
