Symptomatic hemorrhage after alteplase therapy not due to silent ischemia
BACKGROUND Stroke thrombolysis-related intracerebral hemorrhage may occur remotely from the anatomical site of ischemia. One postulated mechanism for this is simultaneous multiple embolization with hemorrhage into a "silent" area of ischemia. RESULTS A patient suffered a disabling stroke affecting the right cerebral hemisphere. He was treated with intravenous alteplase and underwent extensive...

suggested that sulcal effacement without hypodensity corresponds to increased blood flow or cerebral blood volume and is therefore a marker for reperfusion rather than tissue damage. It is therefore highly questionable to analyze those signs together. Furthermore the evidence for a predictive value of EIC in the 3-hour time window is thin at best. Reanalyses of the data from the NINDS trial did...
متن کاملIntrapleural hemorrhage due to alteplase use in a 6-year-old boy with pleural effusion

Bleeding complications are usually mentioned as rare side effects, but there is no clear information in the literature addressing the alarming outcome that might result following the use of alteplase as a fibrinolytic in the management of complicated parap...
متن کاملXe/CT cerebral blood flow evaluation of delayed symptomatic cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
PURPOSE We examined the xenon/CT method of measuring cerebral blood flow in assessing the location, pattern of onset, and severity of delayed cerebral ischemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fourteen patients with delayed neurologic deficits due to ischemia were selected from a group of 66 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. All blood flow studies were performed within 12 hours of deterioration and...
متن کاملDeath from Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Syndrome Due to Generalized Hemorrhage
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is the result of excessive cytokine release, leading to over-response by immune cells, such as macrophages and T lymphocytes. Here, we report a lethal case of HLH with a complete clinical course. The patient was a 45-year-old man with fever and chills since two months ago plus splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and pancytopenia. The Anti-HBc IgM was positive, b...
