ABSTRACT
The case of a 43-year-old female patient is presented. She arrived
to the emergency room of our hospital, with alterations
in consciousness, language and vision. She was evaluated by
the neurology department and requested a magnetic resonance,
finding bithalamic lessions in the Percheron's artery
area. This concluded in the diagnosis of a bithalamic infarct.
Recognizing that a magnetic resonance is fundamental for the
accurate diagnosis of this nosological entity.
