Successful basilar artery dilatation in pure bilateral cerebral peduncular infarctions using balloon angioplasty

• An extremely rare case of bilateral cerebral peduncular infarctions (BCPI) is reported. • The detection of the pure Mickey Mouse ears sign on MRI is an indicator of a need for reperfusion therapy. • Severe stenosis of the basilar artery (BA) and a poor collateral supply from both posterior cerebra...

Descripción
Sumario:• An extremely rare case of bilateral cerebral peduncular infarctions (BCPI) is reported. • The detection of the pure Mickey Mouse ears sign on MRI is an indicator of a need for reperfusion therapy. • Severe stenosis of the basilar artery (BA) and a poor collateral supply from both posterior cerebral arteries were seen. • Balloon angioplasty for the BA stenosis ameliorated the stenosis and produced a favorable outcome.
