Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Stroke

Stroke as a cerebral dysfunction is strongly related to obstruction of cerebral perfusion. Thrombolytic agents have dramatic medical effects on reperfusion after cerebral infarction. Thus, early diagnosis and proper use of thrombolytic agents have become key events for successful treatment of stroke. We present a 63-year-old male patient who had sudden onset of left-sided weakness and slurred speech. After a prompt diagnosis and thrombolytic treatment, the patient was quickly restored from his neurologic defects and discharged without disability. Relevant literature is reviewed and discussed in the report.
