GoKawiilNEJM case report: Filipino farmer's seizure traced to schistosomiasis eggs in brain
Doctors in the Philippines documented a case of a rice farmer who suffered a brief seizure affecting one side of her body despite otherwise appearing healthy. Brain imaging showed a cluster of nodules in her frontal lobe that physicians suspected were eggs from a Schistosoma parasitic worm, and lab testing later confirmed the eggs could hatch and grow tails, verifying the diagnosis of neuroschistosomiasis.
