Purpose: To report three cases of presumed Eales' disease with neurologic lesions. Methods: Case reports, systemic and neurologic evaluation, and magnetic resonance imaging. Results: All three patients were young men who had seizures in the past; two had migrainous headache. Magnetic resonance imaging showed putaminal infarct in two cases and edema in the white matter of temporal cortex was noticed in one case. Clinical features in all these patients were suggestive of Eales' disease. Conclusion: Ischemic infarction of the brain can be seen in clinically suspected cases of Eales' disease.
