Abstract
Neurological complications of falciparum malaria are quite common. Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) as a complication of malaria is rare especially in children but has been reported from other developing countries. We report a case of an 8 year old girl who had developed an ascending paralysis following an attack of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. She was diagnosed with GBS. The clinical presentation and nerve conduction velocity studies were helpful in taking a definitive approach. She was treated with immunoglobulin and improved remarkably.
