Abstract
The article describes two clinical cases of stroke in the artery of Percheron territory. The difficulty in recognizing the causes of ischaemic stroke in these patients was due to the polymorphism in the mental disorders and the rare "strategic infarct dementia", as well as impaired consciousness. We hereby present the clinical features of this condition, which can be used together with neuroimaging methods (including various MRI sequences) to ensure a timely and accurate diagnosis.
The authors describe a clinical case to demonstrate their approach to the diagnosis and management of this patient group.
