The authors present a case in which intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) potentially saved a young man from locked-in syndrome or life threatening consequences. The patient presented with acute stroke secondary to vertebral artery dissection and was treated with intravenous rt-PA. There were no post thrombolysis complications and the patient left hospital with mild neurological symptoms. Our report suggests that in cases of acute posterior circulation stroke due to arterial dissection, treatment with intravenous thrombolysis is safe, practicable and effective.
作者介绍了一例病例,其中使用重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(rt-PA)进行静脉溶栓可能使一名年轻男子免于闭锁综合征或危及生命的后果。该患者因椎动脉夹层导致急性中风,并接受了静脉rt-PA治疗。溶栓后无并发症,患者出院时遗留轻度神经症状。我们的报告表明,对于因动脉夹层导致的急性后循环中风病例,静脉溶栓治疗是安全、可行且有效的。
