Adult cerebral malaria: acute and subacute imaging findings, long-term clinical consequences.

Cerebral malaria is an important cause of mortality and neurodisability in endemic regions. We show MRI features suggestive of cytotoxic and vasogenic cerebral edema followed by microhemorrhages in two adult UK cases, comparing them with an Indian cohort. Long-term follow-up images correlate ongoing changes with residual functional impairment
