Remarkably, the mortality rate for children succumbing to severe malaria complicated by CM has remained relatively stable over the past decade, ranging between 0.15 and 0.25. The pathogenesis of CM is poorly understood, innumerable theories have explained the pathophysiological mechanisms but hitherto there are no firm conclusions about it. Insufficient access to human samples poses a significant obstacle to advancing research in Cerebral Malaria (CM). However, various post-mortem histopathological studies of human tissues and mice models of CM have revealed the parasite's adherence within the cerebral microvasculature. This adherence is thought to be crucial in the development of the condition, contributing to subsequent pathological alterations in the surrounding tissue and ultimately leading to neural dysfunction. It also leads to the breakdown of the Blood-Brain Barrier leading to haemorrhages. This clinical syndrome is primarily characterized by a significant impairment in consciousness or a state of coma.
