Abstract

Bilateral thalamic infarcts can be due to arterial or venous pathology. The clinical presentation and the imaging findings show similarities, their physiopathogenesis, management and prognosis being different. We present the clinical radiological comparison of two cases with bilateral thalamic infarction of arterial and venous occlusive origin, respectively.
