Objective To evaluate neurovascular changes in pediatric patients with cerebral malaria.Study design African children with cerebral malaria were enrolled and underwent daily transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) examinations through hospital day 8, discharge, or death. Neurologic outcomes were assessed 2 weeks after enrollment.Results In total, 160 children with cerebral malaria and 155 comparison patients were included. In patients with cerebral malaria, TCD flow changes characterized as hyperemia were seen in 42 (26%). low flow in 46 (28%), microvascular obstruction in 35 (22%), cerebral vasospasm in 21 (13%). and isolated posterior hyperemia in 7 (4%). Most had a single neurovascular phenotype observed throughout participation. Among comparison patients, 76% had normal TCD findings (P < .001). Impaired autoregulation was present in 80% of cases (transient hyperemic response ratio 1.01 +/- 0.03) but improved through day 4 (1.1 +/- 0.02, P= .014). Overall mortality was 24% (n = 39). Neurologic deficits were evident in 21% of survivors. Children meeting criteria for vasospasm were most likely to survive with sequelae, and children meeting criteria for low flow were most likely to die. Autoregulation was better in children with a normal neurologic outcome (1.09, 95% CI 1.06-1.12) than in others (0.98, 95% CI 0.95-1) (P
