Abstract

The purpose of this case report is to provide insight into the complex relationship between Acitrom-induced coagulopathy and seizure disorder in a patient with a history of cerebral venous thrombosis and coronary artery disease. Acitrom, an anticoagulant, requires vigilant monitoring to prevent bleeding complications. The patient's symptoms, including melena and bleeding from the oral cavity and gums, highlights the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment of coagulation issues. Phenytoin and Levetiracetam are two antiepileptic medications that are helpful in treating both the underlying cause and abnormal coagulation linked to seizure disorder. The case emphasizes the significance of individualised interventions, ongoing observation, and interdisciplinary cooperation to obtain the best possible patient results.

Keywords

Acitrom-induced coagulopathy, seizure disorder, cerebral venous thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy, antiepileptic drugs.
