Neuro-ophthalmological findings with neuropathological correlation in bilateral thalamic-mesencephalic infarction. 1985

F E Lepore, and V Gulli, and D C Miller

A 91-year-old man presented with the sudden onset of coma, vertical gaze paresis, and transient disturbance of horizontal gaze, with fixed but unequal pupils. Both cranial computed tomography and postmortem study documented infarction of the paramedian thalamus bilaterally and of the ventral mesencephalon, accounted for by presumably embolic occlusion of a single artery. This artery arose as an unpaired perforating artery originating from the proximal segment of one posterior cerebral artery and thus conformed to the variant anatomic configuration associated with such infarcts as described by Percheron.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008636 Mesencephalon The middle of the three primitive cerebral vesicles of the embryonic brain. Without further subdivision, midbrain develops into a short, constricted portion connecting the PONS and the DIENCEPHALON. Midbrain contains two major parts, the dorsal TECTUM MESENCEPHALI and the ventral TEGMENTUM MESENCEPHALI, housing components of auditory, visual, and other sensorimoter systems.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
