Abstract
An 8-year-old boy with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and a seizure disorder demonstrated transient visual loss after severe seizure activity. The role of hypoglycemia in relation to his transient cortical blindness remains indeterminate. The nature of the cortical involvement, the rate of visual recovery, and prior reports of postictal phenomena emphasize the relatively benign nature of this condition in children.
