SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CEREBELLAR SCHISTOSOMIASIS

Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To explore the surgical treatment of cerebellar schistosomiasis.

METHODS

Twelve cases of cerebellar schistosomiasis treated in our department were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTS

All cases were cured. At the 2-year follow-up examination, all patients could perform physical tasks normally.

CONCLUSION

Cerebellar schistosomiasis tends to cause mass effect of the posterior cranial fossa and increased intracranial pressure. Microresection of the pathological focus and decompression of the posterior cranial fossa should be effective therapeutic measures.
