ABSTRACT
A 54-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with fluctuating consciousness without localising signs and non-specific neurology. Urgent computed tomography (CT) was unremarkable and differentials of opioid overdose or post-ictal state were considered. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated an artery of Percheron (AOP) infarct; resulting from occlusion of an uncommon anatomical variant in the thalamic and midbrain circulation. This should be considered in patients presenting with fluctuating consciousness and normal CT.
