Abstract
Infarction of the hippocampus and the right ventroposterolateral thala mus was observed. Angiography revealed a posterior cerebral artery occ luded near its origin, immediately upstream from the posterior communi cating artery. The infarction was limited to the areas irrigated by th e branches originating in the proximal part of the artery. More distal branches.for the calcarine scissure and the temporooccipital gyruses were not involved.
