Navigating Through the Diagnostic Challenges Involved in Artery of Percheron Infarction in a Young Stroke Patient.

Artery of Percheron (AOP) infarction is a rare but clinically important cause of unilateral or bilateral thalamic infarction, commonly with a heterogeneous presentation and nonspecific neurological symptoms. In contrast to unilateral thalamic strokes, AOP infarction can present a unique hurdle for diagnostic considerations owing to its atypical clinical manifestation and the lack of widespread knowledge of this anatomic variant among clinicians. AOP infarction is associated with potentially better outcomes if it is diagnosed early, as timely and appropriate interventions can greatly affect the outcome.
