Spinal cord inflammation is a rare presentation of schistosomiasis infection. The present report describes the case of a young patient presenting subacute medullary symptoms revealing extensive longitudinal myelitis related to schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia. The diagnosis was based on detection of parasite eggs in stool. The patient was treated with Praziquantel, corticosteroids and plasma exchanges, leading to a favorable clinical course.
期刊介绍:
Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
