Abstract
We report a patient with Diabetes mellitus who suffers simultaneus ischemic stroke at the rigth talamus and the ipsilateral bulbar pyramid. This vascular phenomenom was attributed to vascular microangiopathy as part of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Remaining work up ruled out other causes for acute ischemic stroke
