Abstract 433: Thrombolysis for Spinal Cord Infarction in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report
Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but serious cause of acute myelopathy, often leading to severe neurological deficits. Unlike cerebral infarction, there is limited evidence to support the use of thrombolysis in SCI. This case report presents an 86‐year‐old male with multiple comorbidities who presented with right‐sided weakness and numbness and was treated with Tenecteplase, resulting in a favorable neurological outcome.
