Phenylpropanolamine-induced intraventricular hemorrhage.
Intracranial hemorrhage is an uncommon complication of phenylpropanolamine. There is an increasing awareness of this complication in the West. However, to the best of our knowledge there have been no cases reported from India. Here we report a patient who developed Intraventricular hemorrhage following ingestion of Phenylpropanolamine, from which he made an uneventul recovery over the next two weeks.
