Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by larvae of Taenia solium. Spinal cysticercosis is an uncommon site of cysticercal infection, and isolated intramedullary involvement is even rarer. We present a case of 10-year-old girl who presented with gradual onset paraparesis with sensory loss and bowel and bladder incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spine revealed a cystic lesion with mural nodule (scolex) which was diagnostic for cysticercosis. Patient was treated with antihelminthic, which led to marked clinico-radiological improvement.
神经囊尾蚴病是由猪带绦虫幼虫引起的中枢神经系统最常见的寄生虫感染。脊髓囊尾蚴病是囊尾蚴感染的罕见部位，孤立的髓内受累更为罕见。我们报告一例10岁女孩，表现为渐进性双下肢轻瘫，伴有感觉丧失及大小便失禁。脊柱磁共振成像（MRI）显示一个伴有壁结节（头节）的囊性病变，诊断为囊尾蚴病。患者接受抗蠕虫治疗后，临床及影像学表现显著改善。
