Article Abstract
Chikungunya, an alphavirus presenting with fever, rash, and polyarthritis, is derived from the Makonde word that means �that which bends up,� in reference to the crippling manifestations of the disease. Most often it is a self-limiting febrile illness. Neurologic complications of Chikungunya infection have been reported. We are reporting the clinical and neuroimaging data in 2 patients with Chikungunya encepthalomyeloradiculitis and brain autopsy findings in 1 patient.
