Adjunctive Cerebrolysin therapy following mechanical thrombectomy for tandem right internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery occlusion with residual post-procedural perfusion deficit: a case report
Eichel R, Mausbach S, Teicher M, Bornstein NM · 2026 · Journal of medicine and life 19(8)
Published 2026-08. Indexed 2026-10-19.
Reported findings and study design
After thrombectomy and adjunctive Cerebrolysin, NIHSS improved from 7 to 1 within hours. The patient was discharged on day five with mild residual cognitive deficits. Recovery was already unfolding around treatment initiation, so the case cannot isolate a Cerebrolysin contribution.
Dose, route and schedule
Cerebrolysin 30 mL in 250 mL saline intravenously daily for four consecutive days, beginning after thrombectomy and stenting. Reported case regimen, not a prescribing recommendation.
