Severe Anemia Associated with Transient Neurological Deficits
Stroke 22:1201-1202, Shahar,A.&Sadeh,M., 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In two patients with carotid artery stenosis and anemia,neurological deficits appeared whenever the hemoglobin level fell below a critical level of 5-6 g/dl and resolved with correction of the anemia.Profound anemia should be considered as a cause of focal neurological deficit, especially if there is evidence of cerebral atherosclerosis.
