Artery of Percheron Infarction in a Patient with Atrial Fibrillation: A Rare Stroke Syndrome.

The artery of Percheron uncommon anatomic variant that provides bilateral arterial supply to the paramedian thalami and the rostral midbrain. Occlusion of this artery results in bilateral thalamic and mesencephalic infarctions. The clinical diagnosis is difficult because of the large clinical variability. We report the clinical and MR imaging findings in a patient who developed infarction in the typical distribution of the artery of Percheron.
