Danazol and internal carotid artery thrombosis.
The case of a 47-year-old woman suffering from a CT-assessed ischemic right hemisphere stroke, which occurred after a 2-month treatment with danazol (a synthetic androgen), is reported. The patient's thrombocytosis in association with danazol treatment and its possible correlations with the thrombotic event are discussed.
