Cerebral malaria is a complication of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and can result in various neurological manifestations. We report a rare case of cerebral malaria with vertebrobasilar stroke, presenting predominantly with signs of lateral medullary and cerebellar infarctions. We suggest that, in patients presenting with fever and a concurrent vertebrobasilar stroke, the possibility of cerebral malaria should also be considered.
脑型疟疾是恶性疟原虫疟疾的一种并发症，可导致多种神经学表现。我们报告了一例罕见的伴有椎基底动脉卒中的脑型疟疾，主要表现为延髓外侧和小脑梗死的体征。我们建议，对于出现发热并伴有椎基底动脉卒中的患者，也应考虑脑型疟疾的可能性。
