ABSTRACT
The aetio-pathogenesis of delayed onset cerebellar ataxia following Plasmodium falciparum malaria is uncertain. An autoimmune demyelinating pathology has been suspected though not yet definitively substantiated. In the present communication we report a case of delayed onset cerebellar ataxia following acute falciparum malaria, where magnetic resonance imaging revealed demyelinating lesions in the pons and cerebellar peduncles which disappeared after resolution of symptoms.
