Abstract

Top of the basilar artery syndrome; is revealed as a result of the brainstem and lower cerebral, cerebellar area infarction due to the embolism of the basilar artery’s most rostral part. It may present with very mild symptoms, leading to severe neurological sequelae or death. In this report, we present a case of bilateral thalamic infarction with no history of chronic disease.
