Cerebral malaria is an important cause of mortality and neurodisability in endemic regions. We show magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features suggestive of cytotoxic and vasogenic cerebral edema followed by microhemorrhages in 2 adult UK cases, comparing them with an Indian cohort. Long-term follow-up images correlate ongoing changes with residual functional impairment.
脑型疟疾是流行地区死亡和神经残疾的重要原因。我们在 2 例英国成年病例中发现了细胞毒性和血管源性脑水肿后继发出血的磁共振成像(MRI)特征,并与印度队列进行了比较。长期随访图像将持续变化与残留的功能障碍相关联。
