摘要
Triptans are specific agonists of the serotonergic 5-HT1B/1D receptors that have increasingly been used in the treatment of migraine and cluster headaches.Though they are generally considered safe, there have been a few reports of myocardial infarction and stroke associated with triptan use. We report a patient who developed spontaneous splenic infarction after the use of sumatriptan for the treatment of migraine headache. © Springer-Verlag Italia 2006.
