From: The evidence for a role of vasospasm in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria
Clinical features |
 Seizures, headaches, persistent neurological deficits, including aphasia, hemiplegia, hemianopia, or cortical blindness |
Radiological features |
 MRI findings of sub-arachnoid and intracerebral haemorrhages, cerebral infarction, and reversible brain oedema, hyperintensities on T2 imaging involving the cortex and sub-cortical and deep white matter |
Doppler ultrasonographic findings |
 Maximum mean flow velocities in the middle cerebral arteries might be normal during the first few days after onset of symptoms |
