CORTICAL OR SUPERFICIAL OCCIPITAL ISCHEMIC SYNDROMES OF THE POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY (PCA)
Abstract:
Posterior cerebral artery ischemic syndromes are a type of posterior circulation syndromes that present a distinct spectrum of neurological findings, visual, behavioral and oculomotor abnormalities without prominent motor dysfunction. Clinical symptoms can often occur due to occlusions of the closer segments of the basilar artery and its branches, especially the posterior cerebral artery. In this paper, the clinical characteristics of the PCA occlusion are taken into consideration, their imaging findings and management strategies are discussed.
