title: [Intracranial hemorrhage during anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy].
abstract: Intracranial hemorrhages are the most severe complication of nowadays widely used anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy. During 34 months we observed 102 cases of intracranial hemorrhages at the Department of Neurology at our hospital. Among them 8 cases occurred during anticoagulant and/or thrombolytic treatment. The most common risk factors were: arterial hypertension, simultaneous use of other drugs with possible interactions and not following the rules of safe therapy. Because of the dangerous complications during this kind of therapy the risk factors have to be considered.
