Abstract
The authors present the case of a 25 year-old male with paraplegia of fluctuating character which still proved to be a diagnostic problem after investigations which included myelography, CT-myelography and magnetic resonance imaging. Laminectomy and biopsy revealed a schistosomal granuloma in the region of the conus medullaris.
