Abstract
✓ A case of reversible cerebral angiitis and intracerebral hemorrhage is reported in a methamphetamine abuser. Characteristic radiographic changes were demonstrated by selective cerebral angiography and computerized tomography. These vascular abnormalities disappeared after 1 month of treatment with prednisone, during which time the patient denied further drug abuse.Keywords
