Neuroschistosomiasis is a rare but severe manifestation of Schistosoma infection. Diagnosis is challenging and surgical biopsy is often required to confirm diagnosis and exclude malignancy. We present a pediatric case of presumed pseudotumoral cerebral schistosomiasis secondary to Schistosoma mansoni with an excellent therapeutic response to empirical praziquantel and corticosteroid treatment.
神经血吸虫病是血吸虫感染的一种罕见但严重的表现形式。诊断具有挑战性，通常需要手术活检来确认诊断并排除恶性肿瘤。我们报告了一例儿童拟诊为曼氏血吸虫引起的假性脑瘤性脑血吸虫病的病例，对经验性吡喹酮和皮质类固醇治疗有极好的治疗反应。
