Clinical features of thalamic blood supplies and thalamic ischemic stroke

Abstract

Thalamic stroke accounts for 2%-3% of total cerebrovascular diseases. Thalamus contains multiple complex nuclei with variant blood supplies, therefore thalamic ischemic stroke presents various clinical manifestations which will emerge difficulties in precise clinical diagnosis at acute stage. This review summarizes and integrates thalamic anatomical structure, blood supplies and corresponding clinical manifestations, aiming to provide overview of thalamic ischemic stroke and to improve efficacy of early diagnosis and treatment.
