IntroductionCiguatera is a food poisoning caused by marine organisms and has a polymoprhic clinic. Differential diagnoses need to be eliminated.ObservationA patient was hospitalized for a febrile syndrome a few days after the appearance of clinical signs suggestive of ciguatera after consuming lagoon fish. He also presented with central neurological signs and brain MRI revealed a lesion of the corpus callosum. A skin infection linked to the scratching lesions was the cause of this febrile state and a diagnosis of CLOCCS was made based on the lesions on MRI.ConclusionA central neurological involvement in ciguatera is possible but rare, CLOCCS may be one of them. On the other hand, a febrile syndrome should lead to consider an differential diagnosis or a complication.Copyright © 2024 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI).
