Abstract:
Some anterior choroidal artery (AChA) infarctions in the posterior limbs of the internal capsule (plIC) have been reported to cause aphasia, typically with apparent paralysis. We herein report an 84-year-old woman with AChA infarction. Although her dysarthria remained mild with no apparent paralysis, we overlooked progression to branch atheromatous disease-related infarct with exacerbation of her anomia, which delayed the initiation of more intense therapy. Even in AChA infarction, especially when the lesion is located mainly in the anterior part of the plIC, as in our case, it is possible to encounter progressive stroke predominantly with aphasia.
