Core Tip

Core Tip: This article is a case report of Percheron syndrome, a special acute cerebral infarction. For patients with sudden memory decline, the disease was diagnosed by careful neurological localization and auxiliary examinations of magnetic resonance imaging and contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Eventually, the patient improved and was discharged after conservative treatment. It is hoped that this case can heighten neurologists’ vigilance against Percheron syndrome.
