title: [Cerebral malaria in children in Cameroon. Apropos of 11 cases].
abstract: Eleven cases of cerebral malaria were observed among 106 hospitalized malarian children. A brief recall of pathophysiology is given, including its immunological aspect. Symptomatology and course of this severe form are evoked. All children were treated by IV then oral quinine and recovered without any neurological sequelae. The importance of a very early treatment is strongly emphasized.
