Abstract

Thrombolysis with streptokinase is routinely used for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Hematoma of the tongue, vocal cord, uvula, and pharyngeal hemorrhage after streptokinase treatment is a very rare condition. Herein, we describe a case of lingual hematoma after thrombolysis with streptokinase in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
