We describe a case of a patient who presented with an acute stroke and thrombosed aneurysm of the same vessel. We review the literature on acute stroke management in the setting of an ischemic stroke caused by a thrombosed aneurysm, including intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. We found that it is unclear whether thrombolysis is safe in these cases. Future case series may be helpful in answering the question.
