Segmental spleen and left kidney infarction induced by vasoconstriction in a methamphetamine abuser patient: a case report

This very rare case highlights the potentially severe vasospastic complications of methamphetamine abuse, which may result in multiorgan infarction. The fatal outcome in this patient was primarily due to underlying cardiac disease and endocarditis, although methamphetamine-associated cardiovascular strain could not be excluded as a contributor. Clinicians should consider vascular events in methamphetamine users presenting with atypical abdominal pain or any signs of organ dysfunction.
