The first report in the literature of opsoclonus in malaria was presented. A 24-year-old woman had a two week history of high fever and lassitude. Physical examination revealed no specific neurological sign on admission. Ring form and gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum were found in blood smear. Combined treatment of quinine and tetracycline were prescribed. She developed classical abnormal eye movement of opsoclonus and hand tremor on the following day, which gradually subsided on the tenth hospital day. Computed brain tomography and cerebrospinal fluid study were normal. She was discharged home after 3 weeks of admission with some occasional minimal opsoclonus without hand tremor.
