  • Title: Spinal cord schistosomiasis and neurologic complications.
    Author: Mazyad MA, Mostafa MM, Morsy TA.
    Journal: J Egypt Soc Parasitol; 1999; 29(1):179-82. PubMed ID: 12561897.
    Abstract:
    Affection of the spinal cord with schistosome eggs, although rare but do occur, causing many neurologic complications. The resulting mass may give rise to controversy in diagnosis. This can be more or less easily judged by MRI. However, radical surgical excision is not always recommended. Biopsied materials for histopathological studies should be done first before any surgical treatment.
