Stroke is an uncommon outcome of methanol poisoning. We presented two cases of methanol-induced infarctive and hemorrhagic stroke in biological brothers who were simultaneously involved in an illicit ingestion of methanol. One of them developed infarctive stroke while the other had infarctive stroke with hemorrhagic transformation. We have highlighted the differences and similarity in the course of their illnesses.
