Doctors were shocked to discover that a woman suffering from back pain had a deadly parasite in her spine.

The story began when the 46-year-old Chinese girl went to the hospital with pain that began in her lower back and spread to her thigh and lower leg.

They explained that cysticercosis of the spine is believed to be relatively rare, as it has not been reported before.

After removing the cyst, the woman was treated with deworming medication, and doctors said that 3 years after the surgery, her back pain had decreased.
