ABSTRACT
@#Neuroschistosomiasis is a serious complication of schistosomiasis, where Schistosoma parasites migrate to the central nervous system. It is often overlooked but can cause significant neurological symptoms. We present a 10-year-old male with headache and papilledema, emphasizing the importance of considering neuroschistosomiasis in patients with neurological symptoms and a history of schistosomiasis exposure. Early diagnosis and timely treatment with antischistosomal drugs and corticosteroids are crucial for positive outcomes. Raising awareness and implementing appropriate management approaches can improve the prognosis of neuroschistosomiasis.
