My brother is currently admitted in hospital with Taenia soliun which is a form of tape worm they say that has gone to his brian. He is being treated for that, at the moment he is paralyzed on his right side and I am very very worried what could be going wrong. Please help.
Hi Nina,
cysts of tenia solium can go and impanted in brain which may leads to continuos pain with paralysis, it can be treated with medication and steroids but most of the cases recovery is good after oedema subsides
Take care
