Cerebral vasculitis and hemorrhage associated with phenylpropanolamine. 1985

R J Fallis, and M Fisher

A 20-year-old woman using an oral diet aid preparation containing phenylpropanolamine presented with an intracerebral hemorrhage and angiographic evidence of cerebral vasculitis. Gas chromatography demonstrated phenylpropanolamine in the urine. Even when used within recommended guidelines, phenylpropanolamine usage should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with intracranial hemorrhage.
