[Bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction: a case with MRI and gamma-emission tomography].
A 41-year-old woman presented with a history of sudden onset of a dementia with frontal signs and antero-retrograde amnesia. CT showed a bilateral paramedian thalamic infarct which was confirmed by MRI. The study of regional cerebral blood flow showed a decrease in both frontal regions. Results of imaging suggested lesions of the ventro-oral, latero-polar and intralaminar nuclei as well as of the mammillo-thalamic tract. The dorso-median nucleus appeared to be relatively spared.
