Abstract
Objective
A case of posterior cerebral artery (P1 segment) occlusion with consciousness disturbance and Weber's syndrome treated by mechanical thrombectomy is reported.
Case Presentation
The patient was a 69-year-old man with consciousness disturbance, left hemiparesis, and anisocoria. MRI revealed acute cerebral infarction in the midbrain and right thalamus. Angiography demonstrated that the right P1 segment was occluded and mechanical thrombectomy was performed. The right P1 segment and its perforator artery, the artery of Percheron (AOP), were both recanalized after the treatment, and the symptoms of perforator occlusion significantly improved.
Conclusion
Mechanical thrombectomy for P1 segment occlusion may be effective for improving the symptoms caused by occlusion of its perforator, the AOP.
