Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis: A Rare Neurological Complication of Mixed Malaria
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an initial inflammatory demyelinating event with multifocal neurological deficits, typically accompanied by encephalopathy1 . Generally, the diagnosis of ADEM is made by clinical history, neurological manifestations and magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the central nervous system. ADEM has not been recognized as a common neurological complication of malaria. As per the Pubmed search only 4 cases of ADEM as a neurological complication of malaria has been reported. We report a 8 year old male child with cerebral malaria and ADEM which is a rare neurological complication and diagnosis was made on the basis of MRI Brain.
