Key Message
Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke can be complicated by intracranial haemorrhage. Early decompressive
craniectomy in such patients can be life saving but is associated with high risk of peri operative bleeding. We managed such a patient
with decompressive craniectomy within 24hrs of thrombolysis by correcting coagulation with the help of thromboelastograhpy.
