Bilateral simultaneous thalamic infarctions

Bilateral simultaneous thalamic infarction (BPTI) is a rare syndrome. Patients attend to the hospital with acute unconsciousness, gaze palsies and cognitive deficits. Here we presented clinical and radiological features and prognosis of 6 cases. They were admitted to the hospital with sudden onset of unconsciousness. Diffusion weighted MRI showed hyperintensity on bilateral paramedian thalamic region and hypointensity on ADC mapping consistent with acute infarction.

Eþ zamanlý bilateral talamik enfarktlarýn gözden geçirilmesi

Bilateral eþzamanlý paramedian talamik enfaraktlar (BPTE) nadir görülen tablolardýr. Hastalar ani bilinç bulanýklýðý, bakýþ paralizileri ve kognitif bozukluklarla tanýnabilirler.
