WASHINGTON, D.C.- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been hospitalized with a blood clot in her head near her brain following a concussion she got after a faint spell last month.

Doctors said that it did not result in a stroke or a neurological problem.

A former U.S. senator representing New York who lost the Democratic primary in 2008 to current president Barack Obama and the wife of former president Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, 65, is the most admired woman in the world by some polls.

Doctors for the nation's highest ranking female federal official and the most prominent member of the president's cabinet said the blood clot was found following a routine MRI and that Secretary of State Clinton, who is being treated with blood thinners, will likely make a full recovery with release from the hospital shortly. (Editor's update: Mrs. Clinton has since been discharged from the hospital, White House press officials announced).

Hillary Clinton is stepping down as secretary of state after four years in the job with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry nominated by the president to replace her.
