Description
Morgan Hayden, Naama Raquib, Suheil Ponnambath, Divya Singh, and Nazia Zaman present a stroke case built around a rare artery variant. In some people, one small artery feeds both sides of a deep brain hub, the thalamus. A blockage there can cause coma, odd eye movements, and confusion. Standard scans often miss the tiny blocked vessel.
The patient, aged seventy, arrived drowsy and hard to rouse within the treatment window. First scans of the head and its vessels looked normal. An urgent MRI showed matching damage on both sides of the thalamus, the mark of this variant. The team gave clot-busting treatment in time and moved the patient to a stroke unit. The authors stress keeping this rare cause in mind when scans look clean.
