A 36-year-old male and a 20-year-old male presented with intramedullary cysticercosis in the thoracic spinal cord. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly identified the cysts. Surgery was performed to decompress the spinal cord, as both patients had progressive and severe worsening of their neurological condition. Intramedullary cysticercosis can be treated successfully by surgery and/or medical therapy.

Background And Objectives: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) due to Taenia Solium is a major public health problem. Our objective was to study patients with disseminated cysticercosis (DCC) who had NCC in the brain along with an additional site in the body and assess their clinical, radiological profile, and response to therapy.
Materials And Methods: A chart review of DCC with a high lesion load of NCC ≥20 (DNCC) in the brain was performed.

Introduction And Importance: Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the nervous system and it is mostly intracranial. Intradural intramedullary or extramedullary is the rarest involvement of intraspinal cysticercosis. Its isolated involvement is even rare, as it usually has intracranial association.
