In recent years, sympathomimetic drugs, including ephedrine, amphetamine and phenylpropanolamine, have been increasingly associated with cerebral haemorrhage and infarction. We report a case of intracranial bleeding in a 37 year-old woman with mononucleosis who took therapeutic doses of phenylpropanolamine. Cerebral CT on admission showed a left-sided intracerebral hematoma. Angiography was normal. Late bleeding occurred on the fourth day. She survived but developed a right-sided cerebral infarction with persistent epilepsy. Her mononucleosis was of moderate severity without bleeding diastesis. We conclude that the intracranial bleedings were secondary to taking phenylpropanolamine.
