초록
Subcortical dementia may occur as a complication of cerebral malaria via deep white matter demyelination with encephalitis and diffuse small vessel vasculitis. In subcortical dementia, impairment in attention and frontal executive function are predominant. Patients are often inert, indifferent, and uninterested. They appear characteristically 'slowed up' with a marked deficit in the retrieval of information. Changes in mood, personality, and social conduct are very common. We describe a case of subcortical dementia, who has definite changes in brain MRI after cerebral malaria.
