Abstract

The use of synthetic cannabinoids is becoming more widespread. Familiarity with the potential toxicities associated with these agents will grow in importance. We present a case of a woman who developed onset of confusion, visual hallucinations, and ataxia after vaporizing synthetic cannabinoids. MRI imaging demonstrated restricted diffusion and increased T2/FLAIR signal in the corpus callosum and cerebellar peduncles.
