TI  - Anesthetic implications of acute methylenedioxymethamphetamine intoxication in a 
      patient with traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
PG  - 281-4
AB  - The use of the street drug methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly 
      referred to as ecstasy, has become increasingly prevalent amongst teenagers and 
      young adults in the United States and many other parts of the world. While most 
      anesthesiologists are facile with the intricacies of managing patients 
      intoxicated by alcohol, cocaine and narcotics the new "club" drugs present a 
      challenge, especially under emergency conditions. MDMA, in particular, is the 
      most commonly abused club drug and potentially one of the most dangerous in the 
      perioperative period. We present a case report of traumatic subarachnoid 
      hemorrhage in a patient with acute MDMA intoxication and a review of the 
      anesthetic implications.
