Abstract

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. Clinical manifestations of CADASIL include lacunar infarcts, transient ischemic attacks, dementia, migraine, and psychiatric disorders.Cerebral MRI can show signal abnormalities in the basal ganglia and white matter, especially characteristic when located in the anterior part of the temporal lobe and external capsules. We report CADASIL patient treated with intravenous tenectelase for acute ischemic stroke, and we present a review of literature aimed to report effectiveness and safety of intravenous thrombolysis in CADASIL patients.
