Abstract:
Cerebral cysticercosis is relatively common along the regional distribution of the world, but spinal cysticercosis is extremely rare. Furthermore combined forms of the two are not ever reported in the literature. Recently we have experienced a case, which was characterized by mental confusion, gait disturbance and urinary and fecal incontinence of 6 years' duration in 45 years old woman. We found these simultaneous two lesions by myelography and conray ventriculography and carried out surgical removal of the two lesions successfully.
