Cerebral malaria is the form of severe and complicated malaria with the worst neurological symptoms. [191] There is insufficient data on whether osmotic agents such as mannitol or urea are effective in treating cerebral malaria. [192] Routine phenobarbitone in cerebral malaria is associated with fewer convulsions but possibly more deaths. [193]
