Abstract
Cerebral sparganosis is caused by migrating larvae of Spirometra mansonoides. This condition is rare. The presenting symptoms include headache, seizures and focal neurological deficit, which are due to a parasitic granulomatous space-occupying lesion. The authors report a case of intracerebral hematoma, which has never been reported as a presenting symptom of cerebral sparganosis. The surgical treatment of this complicated condition yielded poor results when compared to previous reports of the uncomplicated condition.
