Abstract:
Aminocaproic acid is a widely used antifibrinolytic agent. Serious adverse effects associated with its use are rare, but we report on a patient with liver disease and cirrhosis who experienced a grand mal seizure during the intravenous administration of aminocaproic acid. Clinicians should be alert to the occurrence of this adverse effect in patients with no previous neurological problems.
