ABSTRACT
This case report describes a 14-year-old boy presenting with cerebral malaria in a resource-limited setting. The patient exhibited optic disc elevation, indicating increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Due to the unavailability of advanced neuroimaging, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was employed to assess the optic disc. After administration of a weight-based dose of mannitol, optic disc elevation resolved completely, accompanied by clinical improvement. This case highlights the potential of POCUS as a valuable tool for the assessment and management of cerebral malaria in resource-limited settings.
