Cerebral malaria is associated with high mortality and morbidity in patients infected Plasmodium Falciparum. The mechanisms of cerebral include sequestration parasitized red blood cells brain capillaries, production cytokines, immune cell/platelet accumulation, release microparticles, resulting disruption the blood-brain barrier, which caused injuries. severity this reflects on neurological findings ranging from simple delirium to profound coma. We herein present unique magnetic resonance imaging a case fulminant as computed tomography studies usually underestimate extent involvement malaria.
