Consumption of cannabis in young adults has continued to increase in recent years. Cannabis arteritis was first described in the 1960s, but the number of cases has continued to increase. We reviewed current knowledge of the different types of cannabis arteritis in young adults and found 70 cases of
Cannabis arteritis (CA) is a major and underdiagnosed cause of peripheral arterial disease in young patients. A 34-year-old man, daily smoker of 20 cigarettes and two cannabis cigarettes for 14 years, presented with a necrotic plaque of left hallux for 3 weeks. The Doppler ultrasound and angiography
BACKGROUND
To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO.
METHODS
A systematic review on case reports and the literature
The authors report a case of a 70-year-old man presenting a recent unilateral decrease in visual acuity, appearing in a context of alcohol and tobacco intoxication. Diagnosis of Leber's optic neuropathy was evoked after elimination of other causes of a visual acuity decrease such as giant cell
Arteritis is a local finding of a general disease: atherosclerosis. To define the risk factors of this disease in Tunisia, 531 patients were collected by a multicenter retrospective study between January 1998 and December 1999. Most of our patients were male with a mean age of 62 years. The most
We have made a non-selective search for patients undergoing treatment for more than five years for an arterial deficiency of the lower limbs. Most of the patients studied suffered from intermittent claudications for which surgical treatment was impossible (distal lesions, diabetes, coronaritis) or
Cannabis arteritis manifests in cannabis users, independently of tobacco consumption. Around 50 cases were reported in the literature since the first description of this entity in 1960. We report the case of a 36-year-old man, cannabis user, without vascular risk factor who developed digital
The purpose of this paper was to revisit the old concept of cannabis arteritis first described in the 1960s and report 10 new cases. Ten male patients, with a median age of 23.7 years developed subacute distal ischemia of lower or upper limbs, leading to necrosis in the toes and/or fingers and
The main causes of arteriopathy in young patients include drugs, metabolic diseases, pseudoxanthoma elasticum and Buerger's disease. Arteritis due to Cannabis indica was first reported in 1960, and the role of this drug as a risk factor for arteritis was confirmed in several subsequent publications.
Cannabis is the most consumed psychoactive substance by young people. Chronic use of cannabis can lead to cannabis arteritis, which is a very rare peripheral vascular disease similar to Buerger's disease. It is affecting young adults, especially men, consuming cannabis. A 27-year old woman, with no
The causal effect of cannabis, associated or not with smoking, in juvenile thromboangiitis disorders such as Leo Buerger disease, has been suggested. We describe here a case of a 30-year-old woman who smoked cannabis and developed intermittent claudication of the lower limbs. Female sex and proximal
Hemodynamics of an arteriopathy of lower limbs can be assessed by determination of arterial pressure and flow, the two variables being both useful and complementary. Arterial flow can be measured in two ways: mean arterial flow (plethysmographic or isotopic methods) cannot differentiate the
BACKGROUND
Cannabis implication in the pathophysiology of distal arteritis remains controversial. The aim is to assess whether cannabis co-exposure influences presentation and outcome of thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) in tobacco smokers.
METHODS
All consecutive patients presenting with a definite
For the first time in the history of the modern era smoking tobacco is not the most popular inhaled product. After a flurry of legislature, cannabis has come to the forefront of both medicinal and recreational drug use. A confluence of evidence suggests, however, that marijuana consumption may
