RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Good clinical outcome in a patient with a large CT scan hypodensity treated with intra-arterial urokinase after an embolic stroke JF Neurology JO Neurology FD Lippincott Williams & Wilkins SP 1076 OP 1078 DO 10.1212/WNL.47.4.1076 VO 47 IS 4 A1 Tarr, R.

YR 1996 UL http://n.neurology.org/content/47/4/1076.abstract AB Hypodense regions demonstrated by CT within 6 hours of the onset of stroke may reflect irreversibly damaged tissue, and some have suggested that patients with such findings should be spared the risks of thrombolytic therapy since they are unable to benefit from it.We report here a patient with a low-density area demonstrated by CT less than 6 hours after onset of symptoms who improved dramatically after successful intra-arterial thrombolysis.
