Table 1. Clinical presentation of 248 patients with neurognathostomiasis*.

Syndrome	Probable entry portal entry	Clinical signs and symptoms	No. (%) cases
Radiculomyelitis/myelitis/ myeloencephalitis	Intervertebral foramina along the spinal nerves and vessels	Sharp radicular pain and a spinal syndrome (paraplegia, monoplegia, quadriplegia, bladder dysfunction, sensory disturbances), can progress to cerebral involvement (myeloencephalitis)	140 (55)
Meningitis/ meningoencephalitis	Neural foramina of the skull base along the cranial nerves and vessels	Severe headache, stiffness of the neck, cranial nerve palsies, disturbance of consciousness, focal neurologic signs	77 (30)
Intracerebral hemorrhage	Intervertebral or neural foramina	Headache, sudden-onset focal neurologic signs	21 (8)
Subarachnoid hemorrhage	Intervertebral or neural foramina	Thunderclap headache, meningeal signs	16 (7)
*Because the larvae migrate, patients can have sequential signs and symptoms; thus, the total number of clinical syndromes shown exceeds the number of reported patients.
