Artery of Percheron Infarct: A Rare Case Presentation and Recovery.

The artery of Percheron (AOP) is a congenital anatomical irregularity of the cerebrovasculature responsible for perfusing the thalamus and midbrain. These defects account for a small percent of all ischemic strokes and present with widely variable symptomatology, ranging from confusion to coma. We present a case of an acute AOP infarct and recovery in a 68-year-old male with atrial fibrillation without anticoagulation.
