Movement disorders in dengue encephalitis: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV). The clinical manifestations of DENV infection range from mild febrile illness to severe dengue shock syndrome and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Recently, its neurological manifestations have been reported. The mechanisms of neurological complications in DENV infection are often attributed to neurotropism or may be immune-mediated. A double-doughnut sign is a radiological pattern of signal changes in the bilateral thalami, resembling a doughnut. Although this sign has been reported with dengue encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, and other neurotropic infections, its co-occurrence with mixed movement disorders is rare. We report a case of dengue encephalitis involving a spectrum of movement disorders in the form of jaw
