Zusammenfassung

Es wird über einen Fall berichtet, bei dem es nach langdauernder Behandlung mit einem Monoaminooxydasehemmer im zeitlichen Zusammenhang mit dem Genuß von Wermutwein, Mayonnaise und Joghurt zu einer intrazerebralen Blutung kam. Auf die Literatur wird eingegangen. Wegen des Risikos solcher Komplikationen erscheint die Berechtigung zur Behandlung mit MAO-Hemmern fraglich.

Summary

The literature is gone into. Because of the risk of such complications the correctitude of treatment with monoamine-oxydase inhibitors appears questionable.
