Percheron Syndrome also known as bilateral synchronic thalamic infarction is consider as an infrequent of difficult diagnosis syndrome. We describe the case of a male patient presenting acute ischemic lesions in both thalamus and anterior mesencephalon caused by an obstruction of the Percheron artery. The complexity of thalamic vascularization and individual differences make ischemic lesions appear as bilateral, that's the importance of this syndrome. Brain MRI is proposed as fundamental for a correct diagnosis.

Keywords : Bilateral thalamic infraction; Percheron artery; Percheron artery syndrome; Thalamic disease.
