Abstract
A case study of intramedullary schistosomiasis in a 10-year-old child is reported. The patient presented with a short history of ascending paraparesis with no sensory loss. Sphincter dysfunction was rapid. She had surgical exploration and removal of a conus medullaris mass. Schistosomiasis was confirmed histologically. Combined steroid and praziquantel therapy improved her sphincter function and paraparesis. Copyright 2003 S. Karger AG, BaselEntities:
