Sildenafil citrate: a new etiology for hemorrhagic stroke: about 2 cases.

Stroke is a common cause of acquired disability in adults. Self-medication with sildenafil citrate is widespread in this population and may be a contributing factor in this pathology. We report the observation of two cases of hemorrhagic stroke in young subjects induced by self-medication with this molecule. Surgical treatment was initiated in a single patient. The evolution was favorable for both patients with rapid and complete recovery of the motor deficit and autonomy in walking.
