AB  - Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as Ecstasy, is a 
      hallucinogenic compound structurally related to amphetamine. Ecstasy's severe 
      neurological toxicity includes seizures, subarachnoidal hemorrhage, cerebral 
      infarction, intracranial bleeding and cerebral venous thrombosis. We describe the 
      first case of spinal cord damage presenting as acute quadriplegia and respiratory 
      insufficiency in a healthy adolescent following Ecstasy recreational usage.
