Reversal of ischemic cortical blindness with tenecteplase
Purpose
Tenecteplase (TNK) is a bioengineered variant of alteplase that has a longer half-life, a higher fibrin binding specificity, and a lower effect on systemic fibrinolytic activity. We reported a case of reversible bilateral vision loss to homonymous hemianopsia after TNK administration.
Case description
A 56-year-old African American male presented with acute onset of visual loss to no light perception (NLP) in both eyes (OU), left hemiparesis, decreased sensation, and dysarthria. Brain MRI revealed acute infarct involving the right posterior cerebral artery distribution without evidence of hemorrhagic transformation. CTA showed 4mm long segmental occlusion on the right P2 PCA. After the patient was given intravenous 23mg TNK after two and half hours since symptom onset, he recovered vision from NLP OU to 20/25 OU, but he had a residual left homonymous hemianopsia (HH), in addition to hemiparesis and decreased sensation on the left. The patient was eventually discharged to rehabilitation and outpatient follow up.
At the two-month follow up, patient only had residual left HH.
Conclusions and importance
Clinicians should be aware of the various treatment options in acute ischemia related cortical visual loss such as TNK. Future providers should also add comprehensive ophthalmological exam before and after patient receiving TNK to determine if our case is generalizable.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
