This study details a rare case of cerebral schistosomiasis presenting as a brain tumor, causing neurological deficits. Early diagnosis and further research into neuroschistosomiasis are crucial for patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Schistosomiasis mansoni is a parasitic disease with potential neurological complications.
  • Cerebral involvement, or neuroschistosomiasis, is often underdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case of cerebral schistosomiasis mimicking a brain tumor (pseudotumoral form) in the left parietal lobe cortex is presented.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms of right hemiparesis and intracranial hypertension syndrome.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed through surgical biopsy.
  • The study explores vascular and immunological factors contributing to the physiopathogeny of neuroschistosomiasis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the need for increased awareness and more detailed studies on cerebral schistosomiasis.

  • Emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnostic methods for various forms of neuroschistosomiasis.
  • Suggests that cerebral schistosomiasis may be more prevalent than currently recognized, particularly the pseudotumoral form.
