The Neurologist 17:41-43, Leupold,D.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This is the first report in the literature of posterior circulation strokes because of chronic xylometazoline abuse. We hope to contribute to increase knowledge and awareness of the public about these serious complications of cough-and-cold remedies as well as dietary supplements containing sympathomimetics.
