“…However, recent studies have reported more and more dengue fever patients showing uncommon neurological signs. Dengue-associated neuritis, such as brachial neuritis, long thoracic nerve palsy, phrenic nerve palsy, abducens nervepalsy, and peripheral facial palsy have been reported in different areas of the world (Patey et al, 1993 ; Chappuis et al, 2004 ; Chien et al, 2008 ; Verma et al, 2011b ; Shivanthan et al, 2012 ; Mishra et al, 2013 ; Peter et al, 2013 ).…”

Dengue counts among the most commonly encountered arboviral diseases, representing the fastest spreading tropical illness in the world. It is prevalent in 128 countries, and each year >2.5 billion people are at risk of dengue virus infection worldwide. Neurological signs of dengue infection are increasingly reported. In this review, the main neurological complications of dengue virus infection, such as central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system, and ophthalmic complications were discussed according to clinical features, treatment and possible pathogenesis. In addition, neurological complications in children were assessed due to their atypical clinical features. Finally, dengue infection and Japanese encephalitis were compared for pathogenesis and main clinical manifestations.

Dengue infection is endemic in more than 100 countries, mostly in the developing world. Recent observations indicate that the clinical profile of dengue is changing, and that neurological manifestations are being reported more frequently. The exact incidence of various neurological complications is uncertain. The pathogenesis of neurological manifestations is multiple and includes: neurotrophic effect of the dengue virus, related to the systemic effects of dengue infection, and immune mediated. In countries endemic to dengue, it will be prudent to investigate for dengue infection in patients with fever and acute neurological manifestations. There is need for understanding of the pathogenesis of various neurological manifestations.

“…A multitude of neurological manifestations have been documented in patients with dengue. [7][8][9][10][11][12] These include acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), [13][14][15][16] Guillain-Barre syndrome, [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] optic neuritis, 24 neuromyelitis optica, 25 hypokalemic periodic paralysis, 26,27 probable Miller-Fisher syndrome, 28 phrenic neuropathy, 29,30 long thoracic neuropathy, 31 oculomotor palsy, 32 stroke, [33][34][35] and transverse myelitis. 36 Of all these presentations, the most widely reported is encephalopathy, [37][38][39] with an incidence ranging from 0.5% 40 to 6.2% 41 in the literature.…”

Neurological manifestations of dengue are increasingly seen, especially in endemic regions. The wide availability of cross sectional imaging has allowed radiological depiction of CNS involvement in symptomatic patients. Classically, dengue was thought to be a nonneurotropic virus; however, increasing evidence is suggesting central nervous system involvement. A number of pathophysiologic mechanisms have been proposed to explain the development of the neurological symptoms seen. Although there is no specific neuroimaging feature at present, knowledge of its variable appearance may aid in treatment, prognostication, and follow up. In this article, we attempt to review, comprehensively, the spectrum of neuroimaging findings in dengue, via CT and MRI. We also discuss some common pitfalls associated with this disease entity.
