Abstract

Abstract:

Artery of Percheron (AOP) is a variant of thepara-median thalamic artery, and thalamic infarction due to its occlusion accounts for 4%-18% of all thalamic infarction. Bilateral thalamic infarction is rare in posterior circulation infarction, accounting for only 11% of all posterior circulation infarction. The etiology of stroke in young people is different from and more complex than that in the elderly. This paper reported 1 young patient with bilateral thalamic infarction received by Weihai Central Hospital in July 2021, who was treated with intravenous thrombolysis according to multimodal imaging, and analyzed the characteristics of the case combined with relevant literatures.

摘要： Percheron动脉（artery of Percheron，AOP）是丘脑旁正中动脉的一种变异类型，其闭塞所导致的丘脑梗死占所有丘脑梗死的4%～18%。双侧丘脑梗死是后循环梗死中比较罕见的一种表现，仅占所有后循环梗死的11%。而青年卒中病因与老年人有所差异而且更为复杂。本文报道2021年7月威海市中心医院收治的1例青年双侧丘脑梗死并结合多模式影像给予静脉溶栓治疗，结合相关文献进行病例特点分析。
