Fluctuating consciousness and vertical gaze issues can signal bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts. Atherosclerosis is a common cause of these rare brain lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Bilateral paramedian thalamic infarcts are rare neurological events.
  • Commonly present with consciousness impairment, oculomotor, and cognitive issues.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old woman with hypertension and diabetes experienced recurrent decreased consciousness and vertical gaze palsy.
  • Neurological exams between episodes were normal.
  • Diffusion-weighted MRI showed bilateral paramedian thalamic lesions.

Findings:

  • The patient's fluctuating presentation was attributed to bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction.
  • Atheromatous occlusion of paramedian thalamic arteries is the likely cause.

Implications:

  • This case suggests fluctuating consciousness impairment can be a manifestation of bilateral paramedian thalamic infarction.

  • Neuroimaging is crucial for diagnosing and understanding the pathophysiology of these infarcts.
