Abstract

A case of involvement of the spinal cord by schistosoma masoni is described. There was a granuloma in the conus medullaris stimulating an intramedullary tumor. Biopsy led to the correct diagnosis. After decompression of the spinal cord and the oral administration of Niridazole (Ambilhar) the patient recovered satisfactorily.
