Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by schistosome invasion of blood circulation. Neuroschistosomiasis is a severe cerebral complication that accounts for less than 2.3% of reported cases. Patients present with progressive encephalitis, seizures, or both. Management includes antiparasitic medications, steroids, and surgical intervention. Case Presentation. We report a case of a 44-year-old female who presented to the ER with a history of transient loss of consciousness (LOC) and seizure. Radiological investigations revealed a right frontal brain lesion. Histopathological results confirmed the diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Conclusion. Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infection commonly diagnosed in patients who live in tropical areas. Early diagnosis with radiological and histopathological evaluation is required to identify patients at risk of developing severe neurological complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/9968155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]],"date-time":"2023-12-12T17:20:09Z","timestamp":1702401609000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Schistosomiasis Involving the Central Nervous System: Case Report of a Rare Complication"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0094-5453","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rahaf F.","family":"Alanazi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Al Karawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulrahman","family":"Almalki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Ministry of National Guard-Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fahd","family":"Sufiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Pathology, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Ministry of National Guard-Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarmad","family":"Al Karawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Ministry of National Guard-Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/eri.10.111"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-011-6133-7"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1474-4422(11)70170-3"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x12000600"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/01.neu.0000210223.25400.c7"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/trstmh\/trab067"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2019.07.002"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2023\/9968155.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2023\/9968155.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2023\/9968155.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]],"date-time":"2023-12-12T17:20:11Z","timestamp":1702401611000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2023\/9968155\/"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Andee Dzulkarnaen","family":"Zakaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"editor","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]]},"references-count":7,"alternative-id":["9968155","9968155"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2023\/9968155","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6919","2090-6900"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6919","type":"electronic"},{"value":"2090-6900","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]]}}}
