J Neurol Neurol Disord 4(2): 204. doi: 10.15744/2454-4981.4.204 ISSN: 2454-4981 Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases in the world. Spinal Cord Schistosomiasis (SCS) usually presents acutely or subacutely and classified into three clinical forms: medullary, myelo-radicular and conus-cauda equina syndrome.

We report a case of a 29 years old Egyptian male with conus-cauda equina syndrome with classic radiological findings and good response to treatment. Introduction
