[Intracerebral hemorrhage after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy for acute cerebral infarction in a patient with ANCA-associated vasculitis].

We report the case of a 68-year-old man who suddenly developed right hemiparesis. MRI of the brain revealed a new infarction in the left corona radiata, and intravenous rt-PA was administered 100 minutes after the onset of symptoms. After the rt-PA infusion was started, his consciousness declined and the CT revealed bilateral intracerebral hemorrhage.
