Abstract
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCBs) may cause central nervous system side effects associated with neurological and psychiatric findings. We described a patient with SCBs abuse who presented with confusion. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain showed periventricular and subcortical white matter and basal ganglia hyperintensities at T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence with partial rim contrast enhancement on T1-weighted MRI with gadolinium. The patient was treated with high dose methylprednisolone. SCBs can cause serious neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Due to lack of knowledge about these drugs, neuropsychiatric morbidity and mortality are not fully understood.
