Venesection is well-known folk medicine. Although many people believe that it is easy, safe and useful, its adverse reaction may be quite harmful. We report a patient with cerebral infarction who had a history of regular, one-year long venesection. He had microcytic and hypochromic anemia. Magnetic resonance image showed multiple frontoparietal infarction and MRA disclosed focal stenosis in the left middle cerebral artery. He was treated with blood transfusion, antiplatelet agents and iron replacement. Venesection-induced anemia may be a causative factor of the cerebral infarction.
