خلاصه
An important complication of cerebral malaria is increased intracranial pressure which, when severe, is associated with high mortality or neurologic sequelae. We describe a 7-month-old child with cerebral malaria for whom cerebellar edema and obstructive hydrocephalus were initial radiologic findings. Despite significant hydrocephalus, the child had normal intracranial pressure during the course of the infection, and he recovered with minimal sequelae.
