Abstract
Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are referred such as ‘Spice’ in Europe, ‘K2’ İn USA, on the other hand ‘Bonzai’ in Turkey. Bonzai has recently popular SC herbal-drug in Turkey which abuse increasingly, not very well known about its complications and neuro-radiological findings in literature. As a result of this it is substantial for radiologist be aware of neuro-radiological findings may be related to Bonzai or Bonzai like SC complications and thought as a differential diagnosis at unknown or indeterminate patient history. In this case report, we presented Bonzai abuse case neuro-radiological findings that computed tomography showed hypodense areas may be related to ischemia, on the other hand magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated at T2 weighted (T2W) and fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence hyperintensities in those areas are compatible with vasogenic edema . In addition, corpus callosum splenium has a signal increase at FLAIR sequence and multifocal intraparencymal hematomas has periferally edema are also shown.
