Abstract
The authors report the case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with an eosinophilic meningoradiculits after a trip to Tahiti. Because of the type of presentation of the symptomatology, the CSF findings, and the spontaneously favourable outcome, it was related to an infection by Angiostrongylus cantonensis. The authors review the neurological manifestations of this parasite and emphasize the different clinical aspects of infection by Gnathostoma spinigerum, which causes myeloencephalitis in the South-East of Asia.
