Abstract

We report the case of a 39-year-old man with bilateral adrenal haemorrhage. The diagnosis is rarely primarily made with imaging alone. Our patient had a previous history of a stroke six years prior to this episode. We evoke the possibility that long-term daily cannabis use could be the underlying cause of the patient's vascular pathologies. After thorough review of existing literature, this link was found to be probable. Cannabis is the most consumed recreational drug in the world, and this tendency is ever-increasing. Serious complications other than psychiatric resulting from consumption are reported with increasing frequency. Neurological, cerebrovascular, cardiovascular and respiratory complications have been observed. It is thus important to remain vigilant when patients are hospitalised notably through the emergency department, in order to obtain a complete anamnesis, optimise screening, and to adapt the treatment of these patients.
