Hypoglycemia Presenting as Basilar Artery Thrombosis
Stroke 23:112-113, Rother,J.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe a patient who had progressive brain stem symptoms due to a diet-induced hypoglycemia initially diagnosed as basilar artery thrombosis.Symptoms ceased immediately after intravenous glucose.Before invasive diagnostic and thrombolytic strategies are considered, hypoglycemia as a rare but important cause of acute brain stem dysfunction must be considered in patients suspected to suffer from basilar artery thrombosis.
