Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Due to Delta Storage Pool Disease in a Patient on a Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor

We report a case of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) due to delta storage pool disease in a 60-year-old female on a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Increased susceptibility to SNRI-effects on hemostasis was due to a genetic disposition mediated by a polymorphism of the...

Description
Summary:We report a case of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) due to delta storage pool disease in a 60-year-old female on a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Increased susceptibility to SNRI-effects on hemostasis was due to a genetic disposition mediated by a polymorphism of the SLC6A4 gene coding for the human serotonin transporter (SERT). Pathophysiological and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
