Description
Summary:Thrombolysis administration poses certain safety issues in ischemic stroke patients with cerebrovascular changes that are vulnerable to hemorrhage. Furthermore, the lack of related studies has resulted in an unclear understanding of thrombolysis safety in ischemic stroke patients with intracranial dissection, including those involving the vertebral artery. This study describes a case of a 59-year-old female who developed subarachnoid hemorrhage from clinically unrelated vertebral artery dissection after thrombolysis. Histories of severe headache with posterior fossa involvement in patients receiving thrombolytic therapy may indicate careful assessment for intracranial vertebral artery dissection, even if the clinical picture of the patient suggests another arterial syndrome.
