Abstract：
INTRODUCTION:Malaria is one of the main health problems in the Third World. Plasmodium falciparum infects as many as 300 million people, causing up to three million deaths each year, most of which occur in African children. Cerebral malaria is the most common lethal complication of P. falciparum infection in children and is defined by three criteria: disturbances of consciousness, presence of P. falciparum parasitaemia and absence of other causes of acute encephalopathy. Cerebral malaria is a medical emergency and parenteral quinine is the most recommended treatment because of the frequency of chloroquine-resistant strains. Mortality is as high as 50 per cent and residual disability is present in about 20 per cent of survivors. OBJECTIVE:We want to warm Spaniard neuropaediatricians about the existence of cases of cerebral malaria in our country in order to get a better diagnose and treatment for those children. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A retrospective medical scores review of 20 hospitalised children diagnosed of malaria from 1990 to 1998. We selected three cases with neurological signs and we analysed clinical onset, EEG, neuroimaging, and permanent sequels. RESULTS:All patients had acute encephalopathy with fever, obtundation and seizures. They all presented residual disability (mainly hemiparesis). CONCLUSION:We must know better about cerebral malaria because of an increasing incidence of imported malaria due to emigration from African countries and Spaniard tourism to areas of endemic paludism.
