Abstract. Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic disease that results from the larvae of Taenia solium. While neurocysticercosis is considered as the most common parasitic infection of the nervous system, spinal neurocysticercosis is rare. The present case study investigated a 59-year-old woman, who was admitted to our hospital with pain in the bilateral lower limbs and urinary complaints in the form of straining of micturition with increasing frequency. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion extending from L1/2 to S1 of the spine. Subsequently, a laminectomy from L1 to S1 was performed 3 days post-presentation. Intraoperatively, a thin-walled cyst with clear fluid was identified, extending from L2 to S1. The exposed, white and mucoid cysticerci was removed completely. Which on pathological examination was identified to be cysticercosis.
