Spinal schistosomiasis, a rare manifestation of schistosomal infection, can closely mimic the presentation of spinal cord tumors and pose significant diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy from northern Ethiopia who experienced progressive back pain, tingling sensations in his lower extremities, and intermittent fever. Initially referred with a presumptive diagnosis of myxopapillary ependymoma for pediatric hematology-oncology evaluation, his marked eosinophilia and history of swimming in local rivers raised suspicion for spinal schistosomiasis.

Exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI), such as those experienced in American football, is linked to cognitive dysfunction later in life. Traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES) is a proposed clinical syndrome thought to be linked to neuropath-ology of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a condition associated with RHI from football. Cognitive intra-individual variability (d-CIIV) measures test-score dispersion, indicating cognitive dysfunction.
