Özet

Clopidogrel is an effective antiplatelet agent and is useful in the prevention of stroke, myocardial infarction, and related vascular death in patients with vascular disease. Intracranial hemorrhage related with using antithrombotic agents, including clopidogrel can occur. We report a case of a 68-year-old-man who developed intracranial bleeding following clopidogrel usage that, until now such a complication has not been yet reported. © 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
