Isolated Hypersomnia Due to Bilateral Thalamic Infarcts: A Case Report
Authors: Mohamed Amine MNAILI, Ahmed BOURAZZA.
Abstract
Thalamic pathology should be considered in patients with vague nonlateralizing neurological symptoms. Diagnosis of Percheron artery infarction is challenging and ofen made later in presentation due to lack of clinical awareness and the nonclassic stroke signs/symptoms on presentation. In this article, we report a case of bilateral thalamic stroke whose clinical presentation was dominated by a sudden onset of hypersomnia.
