arteritis/アサ属

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.

BACKGROUND Since the end of the nineteen-nineties, cannabis is not only incriminated in the onset of thromboangiitis obliterans but also in inducing artheromatous lesions in young subjects. METHODS A young, Caucasian, 18 year-old man was referred for cannabis withdrawal in the treatment of arteritis

A 24-year old woman, heavy cannabis smoker with progressive Raynauld's phenomenon and digital necrosis is presented. Systemic sclerosis and other connective tissue disorders as well as arteriosclerosis and arterial emboli were excluded with appropriate laboratory examinations. Arteriography revealed

OBJECTIVE To report popliteal artery entrapment in a patient with distal necrosis and cannabis-related arteritis, two rare or exceptional disorders never described in association. To conduct a targeted review and especially to seek information on the clinical presentation with characteristics

Cannabis arteritis is a serious peripheral vascular disease affecting young adults consuming cannabis. An increasing number of cases have been recently reported in Europe. The risk of amputation is high. Cannabis arteritis is often confused with atherosclerosis. We present a new case in which

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

BACKGROUND Proper management of patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) or cannabis-associated arteritis (CAA), presenting with critical lower limb ischaemia (CLI) remains controversial, and data are limited. METHODS Patients with TAO or CAA presenting with CLI between 2011 and 2016 were

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

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

BACKGROUND We observed two cases of juvenile endarteritis which might suggest a possible link between Winiwarter-Buerger disease and cannabis-induced endarteritis. METHODS Our two patients were young men aged 18 and 20 years. Both developed acute distal ischemia of the lower or upper limbs with

BACKGROUND The responsibility of cannabis in juvenile thromboangeitis has been suggested for few years. We describe four new cases. METHODS Young men presented with distal arteriopathy of the lower limbs in 3 cases, and of the left upper limb in the remaining patient. Symptoms occurred

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman with severe arterial ischemia leading to claudication and ulceration of the feet, presumably due to long-term abuse of amphetamine derivates, such as "speed" or "ecstasy," and cannabis. Known causes for peripheral occlusive disease, such as
