title: Hypoglycemic coma associated with brain infarcts.
abstract: Hypoglycemic hemiplegia may lead to a mistaken diagnosis of stroke, although the symptoms resolve with correction of the hypoglycemia. We report a 27-year-old white man with insulin-dependent diabetes who developed right hemispheric infarcts and left hemiplegia associated with hypoglycemic coma. This report discusses the possible role of hypoglycemia in causing the stroke.
