The case report presented here addresses the relationship between cocaine use and stroke. A young adult patient arrived at a specialized unit with neurological deficits and a history of acute and long-term illicit drug use and presented no other comorbidities. In addition, he presented laboratory and serological tests without alterations. The only risk factor identified for stroke was, therefore, cocaine use. Thus, this work points to an eventual relationship between cocaine use and the case in question.
