A Case of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura associated with Clopidogrel in a Patient with Acute Cerebral Infarction / 대한내과학회지

Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent prescribed widely to prevent stent thrombosis after coronary or peripheral vascular interventions and for stroke prophylaxis. The side effects of this drug include gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and bleeding. Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP) is a rare complication of this drug. Here, we report a case of clopidogrel-associated TTP in a patient with cerebral infarction. To our knowledge, it is first reported case of clopidogrel-associated TTP in Korea.

A Case of Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum without Spleen Injury after a Diagnostic Colonoscopy / 대한내과학회지

Colonoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic intervention with an excellent safety profile. Although an intraperitoneal hemorrhage is a rare complication after colonoscopy, and usually associated with splenic injury or solid organ pathology, it is potentially serious and can be life-threatening. We report a rare case of spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage after diagnostic colonoscopy without splenic injury or intra-abdominal abnormality, known as idiopathic spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage. This case emphasizes that physicians should be aware of the emergence of acute abdomen after colonoscopy.
