- Abstract
- The thalamic vascular supply is categorized into the anterior, paramedian, inferolateral, and posterior territories. The
artery of Percheron (AOP), a solitary trunk that is an uncommon anatomic variant, provides bilateral arterial supply to
the paramedian thalami and the rostral midbrain. Occlusion of this artery results in bilateral thalamic and mesencephalic
infarctions. The case described herein is of a patient with AOP who presented with the sudden onset of lethargy. Key Words: Thalamus, Artery of Percheron (AOP), Lethargy
