Abstract
The authors describe a case of spinal intracanal cysticercosis. The cysts were situated intradurally, provoking radicular symptoms: pain, paresis. CT investigations showed herniation of discs L4/L5 and L5/S1 interpreted as the cause of the mentioned symptoms. Surgical treatment included discectomy L4/L5 and L5/S1. Recurrence of symptoms was investigated by means of MRI showing the presence of cysts situated among cauda equina roots. Intraoperative finding--cysticercosis was confirmed by pathologic investigation.Entities:
