Abstract
In February 1947, Mr. D. W. C. Northfield, M.S., F.R.C.S., of the Neuro-surgical Department of the London Hospital, removed by operation a small coenurus from the spinal cord of a 14-year-old girl of Gillingham, who had developed symptoms of paraplegia in December 1946. The girl, who has never lived outside Britain, is presumed to have become infected during a period of evacuation in Wales in 1943–45, where she had had contact with a dog. Professor J: J. C. Buckley, who secured the coenurus through the kind offices of Professor Dorothy Russell, has already made a brief report on it (Buckley, 1947) and has placed at my disposal the original material for detailed study and identification.
