Abstract
The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) stroke represents 5% to 10% of total strokes. The number of stroke cases has increased during the Global pandemic of Covid 19. It can be challenging to diagnose PCA stroke presenting as a visual manifestation, as symptoms are nonspecific and variable over due course of time. This is more complex in patients who are not aware of their symptoms, and therefore difficult to establish a timeline of events. Mostly PCA stroke with only visual symptoms visits an ophthalmologist rather than an emergency attendee. Knowledge of the neurovascular anatomy of the brain is required to understand PCA stroke and identify the stroke’s mechanism to select appropriate therapies. In this article, we provide an overview of PCA stroke and focused on visual manifestations, diagnosis, and management of PCA stroke.
