RESUMO

Severe orolingual angioedema is a life-threatening complication of alteplase treatment for acute ischemic stroke that occurs during alteplase infusion or in the first 2 hours afterward. Currently, there are no proven therapies, although glucocorticoids, antihistamines, and adrenaline are sometimes used. Intubation is required if significant airway compromise supervenes. The incidence is .2%-5.1%, and risk factors include treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and total insular infarcts. Here we report a case of alteplase-induced severe angioedema, which resolved briskly following icatibant treatment.

RESUMO

Following a heat wave in January 2014 in Adelaide, state capital of South Australia, we asked the question whether extreme heat was associated with an increase in stroke incidence. We found in the literature that the association between stroke presentation to hospital and meteorological factors has long been a topic of debate and subject to numerous studies. The literature indicated that an association between heat waves and an increase in admissions for stroke was unlikely in Australia and the United States. We suggest that it may be inappropriate to generalize this conclusion to other countries and rural areas. In view of the global climate change debate, we suggest that prospective studies be focused in developing countries and rural areas to assess the real impact of extreme heat on respective populations to better inform stroke physicians and health policy makers.
