One uncommon type of ischemic stroke is occlusion of the artery of Percheron (AOP) leading
to infarction of the paramedian thalami and mesencephalon. There are several variants of …

The anatomic distribution of the deep cerebral perforators is considered either a given or
subject to enormous variability. Most published overviews on this topic only report findings …

Background The occlusion of the artery of Percheron results in bilateral thalamic and
mesencephalic infarctions. In this series, we attempted to classify the subtypes of clinical …

Abstract Background The artery of Percheron (AOP) is a single thalamoperforating arterial
trunk that provides bilateral supply to the paramedian thalami and the rostral midbrain. As …

The thalamus and the mesencephalon have a complex blood supply. The artery of
Percheron (AOP) is a rare anatomical variant. Occlusion of this artery may lead to bithalamic …

The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is an important artery that can be divided into four
segments (P1-4): segments P1-2 are proximal segments, and segments P3-4 are distal …

A practical textbook, based on a problem-oriented workflow, that will improve patients'
likelihood of full recovery from stroke and prevent future strokes from occurring Stroke is the …

Background. The unilateral fetal variant of the posterior cerebral artery (FPCA) is
characterized by the congenital absence of the P1 arterial segment. The artery of Percheron …

Background. One variant branch of the P1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is
the artery of Percheron (AOP). This unilateral trunk supplies thalami and potentially …

Purpose. Arterial supply of thalamus is complex and highly variable. In particular, the
distribution pattern of thalamoperforating arteries received more attention some decades …
