Hypoglycemia can manifest as a stroke. MRI diffusion-weighted imaging is the most useful technique in diagnosing early ischemic injury. We report two cases of transient MRI lesions of the splenium of the corpus callosum related to hypoglycemia. Clinicians must be aware of such cases to avoid misdiagnosis.
