摘要：

Paraplegia, a rare complication of schistosomiasis has been reported in the literature. However, a detailed description of neurological recovery and long-term functional followup has not been published. In the cases presented, one patient experienced slow recovery over several years and remains nonambulatory. The other patient, infected at the same time and place, has completely recovered neurologically. Recovery was independent of the rehabilitation efforts applied. Case reports, discussion of spinal cord injury due to schistosomiasis and recommendations for treatment are presented in detail. © 1990 International Medical Society of Paraplegia.
