Artery of Percheron infarction is a rare one the neurovascular structure variants acute ischemic stroke characterized by bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts (BTPI), with or without mesencephalic infarction. Due to low occurrence rate and various clinical manifestations, early diagnosis this disease often missed. In addition, it also difficult diagnose in an implementation phase because cranial imaging intracranial vascular may show negative results. So far, its cases have been rarely reported. We systematically reviewed characteristics, anatomical basis, differentiation artery reported on three patients their radiological medical characteristic findings. found that most infarct lesions AOP infraction could not be displayed within few hours fully displayed, even embolism events, which showed typical at late review. The decrease transient consciousness was obvious over course patients, active communication major feature. Among cases, patient had unilateral upper eyelid ptosis miosis; initial symptom another dizziness; other person decreased computing power after These symptoms are easily ignored treatment Therefore, reporting mentioned above will provide assistance for subsequent research increasing data.
