Spinal Taenia solium cysticercosis

[摘要] Dear Editor, The recent publication of Ca´rdenas et al. on spinal Taenia solium cysticercosis is very interesting [1]. In this report, the cases from Mexican and Indian neurological referral centers are compared. Ca´rdenas et al. concluded for ‘‘the existence of differences in the clinical and radiological traits of SC patients between Asian and Latin-American hospitals [1].’’ Here, I would like to share the experience from Thailand, another tropical country where cysticercosis is still endemic. Of interest, in Thailand, there are at least three previous documented cases (2 females and 1 male) of spinal cysticercosis [2–4]. The first case report was documented in 1983 [3]. In this case, the preliminary diagnosis was derived by myelography.
