syndrome of posterior cerebral artery infarction

PCA infarction symptom

definition

The PCA is subdivided into four segments with associated clinical presentation. An occlusion of the proximal segment (P1 or precommunal) usually causes a total PCA infarction, including upper midbrain, variable parts of the thalamus and posterior hemispheric territory. Occlusions of the P2 (or postcommunal) segment before the branching of the thalamogeniculate arteries provoke ischemic lesions in the lateral thalamus and the hemispheric PCA territory. Lastly, cortical PCA branch occlusion causes diverse cortical lesions in the superficial PCA territory, including the occipital, postero-inferior temporal and variable part of the posterior parietal lobes.
