  • Title: Isolated intradural-extramedullary spinal cysticercosis: a case report.
    Author: Jongwutiwes U, Yanagida T, Ito A, Kline SE.
    Journal: J Travel Med; 2011; 18(4):284-7. PubMed ID: 21722242.
    Abstract:
    Spinal cysticercosis is an uncommon manifestation of neurocysticercosis (NCC). We present a case of isolated lumbar intradural-extramedullary NCC. The patient was treated successfully with the surgical removal of the cyst. Spinal NCC should be considered in the differential diagnosis in high-risk populations with new symptoms suggestive of a spinal mass lesion.
