ABSTRACT
Severe neurological complications are associated with falciparum malaria. We describe the case of an eight-year-old male child with severe falciparum malaria with high-level parasitemia and severe thrombocytopenia. There were features of abnormal gait, speech difficulty and altered behavior pattern during the recovery phase. This occurred even after receiving antimalarial therapy. MRI showed bilateral cerebellar atrophy.
