Abstract
Infarction of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory accounts for only 0.3-4.4% of cerebral infarctions. We report an unusually prolonged progressing stroke of the ACA in a 58-yearold patient who had his diagnosis based on neuroimaging investigation and in anatomopathological exclusion of neoplastic disorder.
