Abstract


Simultaneous bilateral cerebrovascular infarction is relatively rare and its initial presentation as a space-occupying lesion is extremely uncommon. Here is a case of bilateral anterior cerebral artery thrombosis causing cerebral diplegia, which is very rare to occur. We report the case of a woman presenting with b/l lower limb weakness and aphasia of acute onset. . MRI brain showed b/l anterior cerebral artery territory infarction. MRA B/L anterior cerebral artery thrombus with absent flow.. 


Keywords
