Pediatric intracranial involvement is exceptionally uncommon and has been reported predominantly from endemic regions in Asia. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging because clinical and radiological features frequently mimic neoplastic lesions.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n \n An 11-year-old girl presented with new-onset seizures. MRI demonstrated a small, peripherally enhancing lesion in the right parietal lobe with surrounding vasogenic edema and intralesional calcifications, initially interpreted as a pediatric low-grade glioma. The patient underwent supramarginal resection. Histopathological examination revealed inflammatory changes with parasitic structures consistent with\n Spirometra<\/jats:italic>\n species. A structured review of the literature identified 77 pediatric cases, showing a modest male predominance, a mean age of 11.01 years, seizures as the most common presenting symptom, a frontal-parietal predominance of lesions, frequent preoperative misdiagnosis, and inconsistent peripheral eosinophilia.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n Pediatric cerebral sparganosis can closely mimic low-grade glioma on neuroimaging, especially in nonendemic regions. Absence of peripheral eosinophilia or a clear exposure history does not exclude the diagnosis. Awareness of this entity is critical to avoid misdiagnosis, and complete excision remains the most effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategy in tumor-like presentations.<\/jats:p>\n \n https:\/\/thejns.org\/doi\/10.3171\/CASE264<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]],"date-time":"2026-07-07T14:23:02Z","timestamp":1783434182000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pediatric cerebral sparganosis mimicking low-grade glioma in a nonendemic region: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3672-7343","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ege Anil","family":"Ucar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Koc University Hospital, Istanbul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8655-0515","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ekin","family":"Deniz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, \u0130stanbul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oguz","family":"Baran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Koc University Hospital, Istanbul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Goktug","family":"Akyoldas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Koc University Hospital, Istanbul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9889-2702","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ozgur Can","family":"Eren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Koc University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2003-7567","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Kulac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Koc University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9472-1735","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"\u0130hsan","family":"Solaroglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Koc University Hospital, Istanbul"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"bib1","series-title":"BMC Infect Dis","first-page":"748","article-title":"Cerebral sparganosis presenting with atypical postcontrast magnetic resonance imaging findings: a case report and literature review","volume":"19","author":"Zhu","year":"2019","unstructured":"Zhu YYe LDing XWu JChen Y.Cerebral sparganosis presenting with atypical postcontrast magnetic resonance imaging findings: a case report and literature review.
