Midfacial complications of prolonged cocaine snorting.

چکیده
Acute and chronic ingestion of cocaine predisposes the abuser to a wide range of local and systemic complications.

Previously published case reports specific to this problem are presented, as are the oral, systemic and behavioural effects of cocaine abuse.
