Abstract:
Case report of a severe form of neuropaludism, contracted in a territory with Plasmodium falciparum completely insensitive to chloroquine. CAT Scan views displayed a small brain infarction. Complete recovery was obtained with a treatment including quinine, tracheal intubation and ventilatory support, sedation with barbiturates. CAT Scan views demonstrated a complete regression of cerebral lesions.
