The diagnosis of cerebral malaria resulted from autopsy. By the histological examination numerous microthrombi were observed exceptionally in certain cerebral areas, which are more vulnerable by hypoxia as other regions of the brain and other organs. The pathophysiology and the clinical importance of this correlationship are discussed.
