Abstract

Abstract The artery of Percheron is an uncommon anatomical variant that was first described in 1973 by a French neurologist called Gerard Percheron. Stroke due to occlusion of this anatomical variant artery may present with diagnostic challenges. Here, we are sharing our experience in four cases with variable outcomes. This may add our knowledge to existing literature.
