Spinal cysticercosis: an unusual presentation.

Rameshwar Nath Chaurasia1, Vijay Nath Mishra1, Shalini Jaiswal2.   

Abstract

Spinal intramedullary cysticercosis is an uncommon clinical condition that may mimic an intramedullary tumour and can lead to irreversible neurological deficits if untreated. We report a case of a 35-year-old man who clinically presented as Brown-Sequard syndrome, having thoracic cord cysticercosis at T11 level. MRI of the spine revealed a well-defined round intramedullary inflammatory lesion with scolex and perilesional oedema at D11 level. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
