Compression of the terminal cone by bilharziasis: about a case of spinal cord compression of schistosoma haematobium
Bilharzia is, after malaria, the most widespread parasitic disease in Africa. It poses a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Mauritania. Pathologically, spinal localization is a rare and severe form of Schistosoma infection. The clinical manifestations are non-specific; spinal MRI makes it possible to confirm the diagnosis and specify the site of intradural extra/or intramedullary lesions. These lesions pose the problem of differential diagnosis with other pathologies of the same site.
