Abstract | STUDY DESIGN: Case Report. OBJECTIVE: SETTING: Elazig, Turkey CASE REPORT: CONCLUSION: Physicians should be aware of this rare complication secondary to thrombolytic therapy. A high index of suspicion for hemorrhagic complications is necessary, particularly in elderly patients under thrombolytic treatment regardless of spinal pain, and the patient's lethargic or confused status should be taken into account. MRI is a valuable imaging option that gives information on both localization and extent of lesion and recovery.
