Abstract
Malaria is a parasitic disease common in many regions of the world. Cerebral malaria can cause cortical, cerebellar, and pontine infarctions. Although callosal ischemia (CI) due to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and postoperative factors have been described in the literature, isolated CI due to malaria is very rare. We present a patient with isolated corpus callosum ischemia-an unusual complication of cerebral malaria-a case that we believe will contribute to the literature since the woman is 23 years old and has no comorbidities.
