BACKGROUND: In recent years, there have anecdotal reports of intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) for the treatment of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) with encouraging results. We describe a patient with acute cervical SCI who underwent IAT with Tenecteplase at our institution.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 12-hour history of progressive onset upper and lower extremity numbness, weakness, and urinary incontinence after sustaining a fall. MRI of cervical spine demonstrated T2 and STIR hyperintensity in the ventral aspect of the spinal cord spanning the C3, C4, and C5 levels suggestive of SCI. He demonstrated progression of neurologic deficits to C4 ASIA B spinal cord injury with complete loss of motor function, diminished sensation, and absent rectal tone. Emergent angiography was performed with prominent anterior spinal supply via the left ascending cervical artery. A total of 30 mg of Tenecteplase was administered intra-arterially in the bilateral vertebral arteries, bilateral ascending cervical arteries, and bilateral inferior thyroid arteries. Two-week post-intervention neurologic examination demonstrated improvement in injury level and severity. The patient was C6 ASIA C SCI, with 2/5 strength in the distal upper and lower extremities and improved sensation.
CONCLUSION: IAT with Tenecteplase may be a feasible option for the treatment of acute spinal cord ischemia in carefully selected patients.
