A Unique Case of Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia and Artery of Percheron Infarct
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This case report discusses a unique presentation of an artery of Percheron (AOP) infarct resulting in rapidly resolving internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) without classical signs. This is the case of a 70-year-old male patient who presented to a community Emergency Department following acute code stroke activation. Physical exam and imaging studies including non-contrast CT, CT angiography, CT perfusion, and MRI were performed. A review of the literature was also conducted. MRI confirmed acute bilateral thalamic ischemic changes consistent with AOP infarcts. Symptoms of acute blurred vision, slurred speech, right hemi-face and tongue numbness, and signs of anisocoria, left INO, mild left skew deviation, and impaired convergence on the left resolved within 48 hours without intervention. The patient was discharged as neurologically normal and follow-up investigations did not identify a cause for the stroke. The literature suggests varying presentations of AOP infarcts, with INO being rare. This case deviates from classical AOP presentations, emphasizing the importance of considering AOP infarcts early in differential diagnoses, particularly with unusual neuro-ophthalmological findings. Imaging modalities such as MRI with DWI prove crucial for early diagnosis, although AOP occlusions remain challenging to detect due to the small vessel size. Our case contributes to expanding knowledge of AOP infarct presentations and underscores the need for vigilance in recognizing atypical manifestations for timely diagnosis/management.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
