    Abstract:
    This hospital based study was carried out on 185 adult patients of cerebral malaria. Out of 185 patients, 62 (33.5%) died and 123 (66.5%) survived. Neurological sequelae were present in 13 (10.5%) of 123 survivors at the time of discharge (i.e. 10-15 days after recovery from coma) from the hospital. These were in form of psychosis in 5 patients (4%), cerebellar ataxia in 4 patients (3.2%), extrapyramidal rigidity in 2 patients (1.62%) and hemiplegia in 2 patients (1.62%).
