| Summary: | Key Clinical Message Weber's syndrome revealing a Percheron artery infarction is a rare clinical occurrence. Its diagnosis requires careful clinical examination and brain MRI, which is the gold standard for diagnosis. If this is not available, combined cerebral CT scan with a CT angiography of supra‐aortic arteries may be useful for the diagnosis. Abstract Percheron's artery (PA) occlusion is an uncommon type of stroke involving paramedian thalamus and/or midbrain infarction. It accounts for 4%–18% of all thalamic infarcts and 0.1%–2% of all strokes. Its clinical manifestations are variable and its mode of presentation as Weber's syndrome is exceptional due to the unusual clinical presentation. |
