Abstract
In summary, very limited data exist about thrombolysis in patients with brain tumors. Differentiation of tumor by additional neuroimaging before thrombolysis in ischemic stroke is recommended as thrombolysis might be considered in extra-axial benign appearing neoplasms (eg, meningioma) but is not advisable in intra-axial primary or metastatic neoplasm. Further reporting of thrombolysis in patients with brain tumors is recommended.
