Transient ischemic attack in a patient with congenital protein-C deficiency during treatment with stanozolol.
A patient with congenital protein-C deficiency was treated with stanozolol for 8 weeks to increase circulating levels of protein C. A rise in protein C was achieved, accompanied by an increase in factor II, factor X, antithrombin III, and protein S; but at the 8th week the patient suffered a transient ischemia attack.
