Scrub typhus is an acute febrile infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. The illness is usually characterized by fever, rash, and lymphadenopathy, but severe cases progress to pulmonary and neurological involvement. We report a 69-year-old man who developed ptosis and ophthalmoplegia with a focal nodular lesion in the anterior cavernous sinus detected with magnetic resonance imaging. Found to have scrub typhus, the ptosis and ophthalmoplegia resolved after treatment with doxycycline.

Meningitis or meningoencephalitis is a known complication of scrub typhus. Focal neurological deficits are rarely reported including hemiparesis, quadriparesis and isolated cranial nerve palsies.

Scrub typhus can present as acute or subacute meningitis complicated by multiple cranial palsies and cerebellitis. Hence it needs to be differentiated from acute bacterial meningitis and tubercular meningitis as delay in diagnosis and treatment will affect the morbidity and mortality.
