Artery of Percheron (AOP) occlusion is a rare cause of ischemic stroke
characterized by bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts, with or without
mesencephalic infarction. Clinically it presents with mental state disturbances,
hypersomnolence, aphasia/dysarthria, amnesia and ocular movement disorders,
including vertical gaze palsy. Here, we report a case of cardioembolic AOP
infarction in a 37-year-old woman with rheumatic mitral valvular stenosis. This
case is being reported to highlight the interesting clinical and neuroimaging
features of this rare condition, and the differential diagnosis of AOP infarction
on imaging have been discussed.
