Kunal Lala, Divya Lala, Ana

Abstract

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is relatively an uncommon manifestation in adults with Malaria. CVT is more often seen in patients with Falciparum malaria. Here we present a rare case of a 31-year-old male with Vivax malaria, who developed diplopia secondary to CVT. His treatment involved anticoagulation, analgesics as well as treatment of malaria.
