Article Synopsis
- Orolingual angioedema (OA) is a serious but rare side effect of thrombolytic therapy, specifically after administering tenecteplase, requiring prompt treatment.
- A 67-year-old male patient experienced OA after receiving tenecteplase for an acute stroke, and initial treatments with antihistamines and steroids were ineffective.
- Despite the administration of a C1 esterase inhibitor, the patient's condition worsened, leading to intubation, but he eventually improved and was extubated after 30 hours, highlighting the need for quick and effective management of OA in such cases.
