A 31-year-old man with Moyamoya disease had received a right encephalo-duro-arterial synangiosis and later developed a rupture of the left thalamo-perforating artery aneurysm. Surgical strategies were discussed. Perfusion studies revealed increased haemodynamic stress on the left hemisphere which was likely the cause of the aneurysm.

The posterior communicating artery (PcomA), P1 and P2 segments of the posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) give rise to numerous small branches that chiefly supply the thalamus and midbrain. Thalamic vascular supply is classically categorized into four regions: anterior, paramedian, infero-lateral and posterior. Despite significant variations and overlap in the blood supply, this traditional classification helps in understanding the vascular anatomy of the thalamus.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between dilation and proliferation and anastomosis of perforating arteries, and intracranial hemorrhage in moyamoya disease (MMD) patients, using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI).
Methods: Adult patients with MMD at advanced stages were prospectively enrolled and underwent HRMRI exams. Dilation and proliferation of the lenticulostriate artery (LSA), medullary artery, and anterior or posterior choroidal arteries (AChA or PChA) were assessed.
DWI/FLAIR Mismatch during Hyperacute Infarction of the Percheron Artery: Time Is Thalamus!

The artery of Percheron (AOP) is a single dominant thalamo-perforating artery that supplies bilaterally the medial thalami with variable contribution to the rostral midbrain. Occlusion of the AOP causes indeed variable and unspecific clinical symptoms due to this complex anatomy, and very often this diagnosis is delayed with the impossibility of recurring to intravenous thrombolysis (rTPA). Here, we report a case of AOP stroke that received a prompt diagnosis and therapy, owing to the availability of MR brain scan, showing a DWI/FLAIR mismatch typical of hyperacute infarctions.

The occurence of mutism after thalamic lesions has rarely been observed before adulthood. We report a 6.5-year-old girl who presented with sudden mutism with a decreased level of alertness.
