Post-malaria neurological syndrome is a rare complication of malaria occurring mainly in serious cases of Plasmodium falciparum infection. A Cuban male patient presented with neurological manifestations of post-malaria neurological syndrome two weeks after being diagnosed and treated for malaria in Mozambique. During that period the patient had been asymptomatic. Treatment with methylprednisolone was clinically effective.

Palavras-chave : post-malaria neurological syndrome; Plasmodium falciparum; encephalopathy; methylprednisolone.
