摘要
Here, we present a case series of four patients diagnosed with acute ischaemic stroke due to occlusion of the artery of Percheron (AOP), a rare stroke variant, observed in a single emergency centre within a three-month period. AOP occlusion is characterized by bilateral thalamic infarction with or without involvement of the mesencephalon. The presenting symptoms are diverse and not specific, but commonly include disturbance of consciousness, memory impairment, and vertical gaze palsy. In addition, due to the location of the infarction, imaging recognition is challenging and AOP occlusion often remains undiagnosed. This paper emphasizes the necessity of early recognition and appropriate management of AOP occlusion to significantly impact patient outcomes. Moreover, we argue that the condition might be more common than previously thought and that misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis may lead to inappropriate treatment and potential failure to apply thrombolysis within the required timeframe.
