  • Title: Percheron Infarction: Is It Just a Rare Cerebrovascular Variant or a Forewarning of Severe Multiple Posterior Circulation Infarcts.
    Author: Liu J, Xiao H, Hu Z.
    Journal: J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis; 2019 Apr; 28(4):e27-e29. PubMed ID: 30655045.
    Abstract:
    Percheron infarction, arising from occlusion of the Artery of Percheron, is few, which can result in bilateral thalamic and mesencephalic infarctions. We herein showcase a confirmed case of the Percheron infarction at the admission day, in which the patient advanced into severe multiple posterior circulation infarcts, along with petechial hemorrhage within the infarcts, even given the right therapy without delay. It reminds us that whether we could or should take this special infarction as a forewarning of more harmful infarcts getting in the way, or at least a precaution of poor vessel condition.
