An infarct is when the stroke cuts off oxygen to your tissue to the degree that the tissue dies. Depending on the severity and location within the thalamus, infarcts can present long-lasting and...

May 6, 2024 · A thalamic stroke occurs when there’s a disruption in blood flow to the thalamus, deep in your brain. It can affect sensation, balance, speech, and memory.

Aug 4, 2023 · A thalamic stroke occurs when an artery that supplies blood to the thalamic area is blocked or ruptures. The thalamus is located nearly in the center of the brain, directly between the two hemispheres.

Mar 30, 2023 · A thalamic stroke occurs when there is a disruption in blood flow to the thalamus, deep inside the brain. Read about causes, risk factors, symptoms, and more.

Thalamic stroke, both in isolation and in combination with infarcts involving other structures, are not rare. The functional complexity of the thalami nuclei and the not uncommon normal variations of arteries supply the thalamus induce wide variations in presentation of thalami infarcts.

Feb 4, 2025 · Thalamic infarcts refer to ischemic strokes that affect the subcortical grey matter complex of nuclei known as the thalamus. Pure thalamic infarcts are reported to make up 3-4% of ischemic strokes 1. Most of the risk factors are common to all types of ischemic strokes 2 such as: Presentation is dependent on the region infarcted 2,5:

Aug 21, 2003 · Background— This article reviews the anatomy, connections, and functions of the thalamic nuclei, their vascular supply, and the clinical syndromes that result from thalamic infarction.

Sep 6, 2024 · A thalamic stroke is the result of a disruption in blood flow to the thalamic region of the brain. Thalamic strokes cause specific symptoms, such as difficulty moving the arms and legs, trouble with speech, and visual loss.

Jan 10, 2025 · A thalamic stroke occurs when there is a disruption in blood flow to the thalamus, a small but significant part of the brain involved in various functions, including memory, emotions, and sensory input processing.

We studied forty patients with CT-proven thalamic infarcts without involvement of the superficial territory of the posterior cerebral artery. The delineation into four arterial thalamic territories (inferolateral, tuberothalamic, posterior choroidal, paramedian) corresponded clinically to four different syndromes.
