Abstract

We review and expand the results of several previously published studies on computed tomographic and electroencephalographic correlates of chronic, habitual cocaine abuse in order to present a complete spectrum of the longterm neurological complications of cocaine abuse. We argue that prolonged and frequent cocaine abuse leads to biochemical and vascular cerebral insults that eventually may cause functional and structural abnormalities affecting predominantly the fronto-temporal areas.
