title: [Intracranial hemorrhages in patients being treatment with anticoagulants].
abstract: Over the period 1994-1998, five patients presenting coagulation status impairment in the course of sintrom treatment are hospitalized in the Clinic of Emergency Neurology and Neurosurgery. Three of them are with craniocerebral trauma (2 severe forms--score 5 by the Glasgow Coma Rating scale, and one mild form--score 15), one has spontaneous intracerebral hematoma, and one--acute hydrocephalus against the background of ruptured aneurysm of the basilar artery (score 4). Three patients are given sintrom treatment because of rheumatic heart disease (2 with mitral valve prosthetic replacement and one in the post-commissurotomy period), and two--because of absolute arrhythmia, complicated by systemic emboli in the extremities and/or pulmonary artery. Four patients are subjected to operation--2 with craniocerebral injury, one with intracerebral hematoma and one with acute hydrocephalus of which in two cases the outcome is fatal. One female patient presenting serious craniocerebral trauma is not operated (refusal by the relatives) and dies. The therapeutic approach to this contingent of patients is comprehensively discussed.
