Acute Isolated Corpus Callosum Infarction: A Case Report.

The corpus callosum is a large subcortical white matter region in the brain that contains fiber connecting both cerebral hemispheres together; it has a rich blood supply; hence, infarction in this region is rare. There are a few reported cases of corpus callosal infarction, and here we present our patient who had a clinical presentation that was not suggestive of corpus callosal infarction. However, an MRI brain confirmed the location, and the patient was managed following the standard stroke treatment, and vascular risk factors were addressed and managed.

Non-ketotic Hyperglycemia Presenting as Focal Status Epilepticus and Subsequent Todd's Paralysis.

Uncontrolled diabetes can result in many neurological and non-neurological complications.

Here, we present a case of a 75-year-old female with no prior history of epilepsy disorder presenting as focal status epilepticus complicated by Todd's paralysis.
