Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 76-year-old woman experiencing sudden-onset, painless ptosis in the right eye as an early symptom of a thalamic stroke, with no other neurological deficits. Topics discussed include the vascular territories of the thalamus and how infarcts in these regions can lead to varied neuro-ophthalmological symptoms, diagnostic imaging approaches, and the patient's positive response to dual antiplatelet therapy.
