Sedimentation level in acute intracerebral hematoma in a patient receiving anticoagulation therapy: an autopsy study.
We report the first case in which a fluid-blood interface was identified at autopsy in a patient with acute intracerebral hematoma on anticoagulant therapy. Anticoagulation may be one of the major factors contributing to the production of an intracerebral blood sedimentation level.
