  • Title: Spinal neuroschistosomiasis.
    Author: Palin MS, Mathew R, Towns G.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2015; 29(4):582-4. PubMed ID: 25891496.
    Abstract:
    We report a 20-year-old woman with a diagnosis of spinal neuroschistosomiasis that was confirmed histologically. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an expanded, oedematous conus with intrinsic heterogeneous enhancement, which was initially thought to be a neoplastic lesion. This case demonstrates an alternative diagnosis to oncological lesions of the spinal cord which should be considered in patients who have recently travelled to endemic areas.
