Publication date: September 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Volume 58, Supplement 1 Author(s): V. Quintaine, H. Chabriat, E. Jouvent, A. Yelnik Background Late recovery after a first ischemic stroke is highly variable and its predictors are unknown. The present study aims at determining whether MRI data obtained one to four months after a first ischemic stroke help to predict clinical evolution up to 2 years.

Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Related to Fluoxetine in a Patient With Stroke
We report on a patient who developed massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage related to the use of fluoxetine in combination with aspirin and clopidogrel.

Fluoxetine was started for pharmacological neurostimulation to promote motor recovery and for low mood. He developed gastrointestinal hemorrhage a week after fluoxetine was started. Fluoxetine was suspended and investigations failed to reveal the source of the bleeding. He was then restarted on fluoxetine along ...
