    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Spinal cysticercosis is a rare parasitic infection.
    • Cysticercosis is caused by the larval cysts of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.

    Observation:

    • A case of myelopathy in a Cambodian patient was investigated.
    • The patient presented with neurological deficits indicative of spinal cord involvement.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic evaluation confirmed the myelopathy was caused by cysticercosis.
    • The spinal cysticercosis was likely acquired in the Indochina region, an atypical location for this parasitic infection.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering cysticercosis in the differential diagnosis of myelopathy, even in unusual geographic locations.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the epidemiology of cysticercosis in Southeast Asia.
