Abstract
An adult female patient presented with an exclusively spinal leptomeningeal infestation by cysticercosis (restricted to the cauda equina), verified in surgery. The rôle of the vertebral vein system in the spread of cysticercosis larvae is discussed. A commentary on the possibility that cysticercosis of the basal cisterns may be due to ascending migration of primarily spinal cysticerel, as originally proposed by Isamat de la Riva, is stated.Entities:
