Overview

This case report demonstrates the efficacy of rt-PA thrombolysis in improving outcomes for patients with aphasia post-stroke, suggesting potential benefits in minor strokes.

Key Points

  • This case report aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombolysis in a minor stroke patient with aphasia.
  • Described a case of a 35-year-old male with isolated aphasia and a total NIH Stroke Scale score of 3.
  • Conducted magnetic resonance imaging to identify a focal left middle cerebral artery infarction.
  • Administered intravenous rt-PA without complications.
  • The patient's condition gradually improved following rt-PA administration.
  • Outcome measures indicated positive recovery from aphasia.
