Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the intricate and variable blood supply to the thalamus, focusing on a specific case involving a 46-year-old patient with neurological symptoms following an ischemic stroke.
  • Advanced imaging techniques, including NCCT, CTA, and DSA, revealed a rare variant of thalamic blood supply (Percheron type III) that contributed to the patient's condition.
  • The findings suggest that better understanding thalamic vascularization through DSA can impact stroke diagnosis and differentiate between medium-sized and small vessel occlusions.

Numerous perforators originate from the posterior communicating and posterior cerebral arteries.
