Bilateral paramedian thalamic infarctions: a CT study.
We describe eight patients with bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction on CT scanning. Clinically, these patients had infarctions of either the paramedian thalamus alone or the paramedian thalamus with a variable extension to contiguous structures. A single occlusion may result in bilateral paramedian thalamic lesions because of the common occurrence of a single trunk of origin for the paramedian thalamic arteries.
