Özet
Energy drinks are one of the most popular drinks among adults in today's world. They consist of caffeine with high concentrations, simple sugars or sweeteners, amino acids such as taurine, creatine, carnitine, ginseng, vitamins and other plant-based substances as guarana. Since caffeine is a strong methylxanthine leading to central nervous system exitation and platelet aggregation, it may be a risk factor for cerebrovascular events like stroke, seizure, and transient ischemic attacks, especially patients with prothrombotic basis. Thus, we presented a young male who suffered from transient ischemic attack of bilateral central homonymous hemianopic scotoma hours after energy drink consumption.
