Özet
Warfarin is an anticoagulant used in a variety of clinical indications and may rarely cause severe bleeding that can be life-threatening. Although intramuscular bleeding frequently occurs, secondary to trauma, it can be induced in cases with bleeding tendency. Hematoma is often treated with conventional methods. However, surgical decompression can also be applied. In this article, we report a case of gastrocnemius intramuscular hematoma, which was successfully treated with intracavitary tissue plasminogen activator that was recently used in the treatment of abdominal and pelvic abscess.
