Akutes Karpaltunnelsyndrom durch spontane Blutung nach Einnahme von Rivaroxaban (Xarelto^®)

Zusammenfassung

Ein 64-jähriger Patient erlitt ohne erklärliche Ursache ein akutes Karpaltunnelsyndrom an der rechten Hand. Bei der notfallmäßigen Operation entleerte sich ein ausgeprägtes Hämatom. Es besteht der dringende Verdacht, dass es sich um eine Blutungskomplikation nach Einnahme von Rivaroxaban (Xarelto^®) handelte.
