Ischaemic anterior thalamic lesions are rare and can present with disturbances of behaviour and memory. We describe a patient with post-cardiac arrest thalamic stroke.
A 63-year-old man presented with cardiac arrest, was resuscitated after receiving life support, and showed no lesions on computed tomography. Three days later, he presented with short-term memory disturbance and disorientation, with a de novo anterior thalamic lesion.
The anterior thalamic nucleus, supplied by the posterior communicating artery, is part of the Papez circuit and has a role in modulating behaviour and memory. An anterior thalamic syndrome presents with no sensory-motor deficits.
Anterior thalamic stroke is a rare condition and can present with disturbances of short-term memory and behaviour; it usually does not include any motor or sensory deficits.Thalamic stroke can occur due to global hypoxia, such as during cardiopulmonary arrest.
丘脑前缺血性病变罕见,可表现为行为和记忆障碍。我们描述一名心脏骤停后发生丘脑卒中的患者。
一名63岁男性出现心脏骤停,接受生命支持后复苏,计算机断层扫描未显示病变。三天后,他出现短期记忆障碍和定向障碍,出现新发的丘脑前病变。
由后交通动脉供血的丘脑前核是帕佩兹环路的一部分,在调节行为和记忆方面发挥作用。丘脑前综合征无感觉运动功能缺损。
丘脑前卒中是一种罕见疾病,可表现为短期记忆和行为障碍;通常不包括任何运动或感觉功能缺损。丘脑卒中可因全身性缺氧而发生,如在心肺骤停期间。
