Dengue encephalopathy or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) with neurological involvement was once considered to be one of the rarer presentations of this infectious agent. In recent years, many such clinical cases have been reported, though they still remain isolated. We hereby report a case of confirmed dengue fever with features of encephalopathy with previously unreported cranial magnetic resonance imaging findings suggestive of extensive involvement of the bilateral cerebellar region, brainstem, and thalami along with peculiar rim enhancement but normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
