A rare case of spinal cord schistosomiasis (neuroschistosomiasis) was found in a 15-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia. This highlights the importance of considering neuroschistosomiasis in endemic areas, even when rarely reported.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Schistosomiasis is endemic in Saudi Arabia, yet neuroschistosomiasis remains infrequently documented.
  • Neurological complications of schistosomiasis, particularly spinal cord involvement (myelopathy), require careful consideration.

Observation:

  • A case report details an intramedullary neuroschistosomal granuloma in a 15-year-old female patient.
  • This presentation is unusual given the rarity of reported neuroschistosomiasis cases in the region.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the potential for schistosomiasis to manifest as a spinal cord granuloma.
  • A literature review covers incidence, pathogenesis, clinical presentations, and management strategies for neuroschistosomiasis.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of neuroschistosomiasis is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment in endemic regions.
  • Further research may elucidate the specific factors contributing to the low reporting rates of neuroschistosomiasis in Saudi Arabia.
