  • Title: Acute pyloric perforation after prolonged crack smoking.
    Author: Cheng CL, Svesko V.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1994 Jan; 23(1):126-8. PubMed ID: 8273944.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old homosexual man, previously healthy, presented with an acute abdomen on the fifth day of his crack binge. Abdominal free air was demonstrated by radiographic studies. Exploratory laparotomy discovered a clean, ulcer-free, pyloric perforation. This unusual case underscores the possibility of a life-threatening visceral perforation after cocaine use.
