Neurological manifestations are not commonly seen in dengue, it can present as encephalitis, encephalopathy, neuromuscular disorders and neuro-ocular disorders. Cranial mononeuropathy is a very exceptional manifestation. A 48-year-old Indian male was diagnosed with dengue, complicated with isolated unilateral sixth cranial nerve palsy.
