Abstract
In India cestode infection 'neurocysticercosis' is the commonest parasitic disease of the central nervous system; it may involve the brain parenchyma, the meninges or ventricles and, infrequently it involves the spinal cord. Involvement of spinal cord has variably been reported to be 1-5%. We report two cases of intramedullary spinal neurocysticercosis, which is a rare disease.
