Four episodes of acute left hemiparesis occurred in three pediatric-age, insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Each had a concomitant respiratory tract infection and headache, but no obvious signs of systemic hypoglycemia. No cerebral abnormalities were demonstrated by angiography or computerized tomography. The clinical course was benign, with slow but complete resolution of neurologic abnormalities within 8 to 24 hours of onset, and no further neurologic complaints in a 7- to 16-month follow-up.
