We present the clinical,myelographic,MRI,and histologic data on a 7-year- old girl with confirmed Schistosoma mansoni infection of the spinal cord. MRI of the granulomatous spinal lesion revealed extensive enlargement of the cord in the T11-12 area,with some intramedullary swelling extending to T-5 through T-7.The clinical manifestations of spinal schistosomiasis can be diverse,and there should be a high index of suspicion for all patients from endemic areas. |
