Published: July 1999

We report two cases of post malarial cerebellar ataxia presenting with severe ocular flutter, in a female of 72 years and a male of 20 years. Both patients had falciparum malaria infection. CT scans of both patients were within normal limits for the age. Cerebellar signs as well as ocular flutter responded very well to moderate doses of prednisolone therapy.
