Unusual Presentation and Outcome in Acute Cocaine Intoxication With Multiorgan Failure: A Case Report
Cocaine overdose remains a significant public health concern worldwide, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The range of presentation can vary from mild autonomic hyperactivity to severe vasoconstriction, causing multiorgan ischemia and even death. In cases of high-dose intoxication, the...

description | Cocaine overdose remains a significant public health concern worldwide, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The range of presentation can vary from mild autonomic hyperactivity to severe vasoconstriction, causing multiorgan ischemia and even death. In cases of high-dose intoxication, the presentation can be atypical. In this case report, we present a compelling case of a patient who initially presented with cardiac arrest and atypical signs. The patient made a remarkable recovery and returned almost to her baseline. This case provides valuable prognostic insight into the outcomes of severe multiorgan failure resulting from cocaine toxicity. |
