    Abstract
    Background
    Coenurosis is caused by infestation with the coenuri (metacestode or larval stage) of Taenia
    multiceps, T. serialis, T. brauni, and T. glomerata. These four Taenia species are present in
    the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Canids are the definitive hosts and a variety of mammals
    as intermediate hosts. Human infestation results from accidental ingestion of eggs in
    contaminated food or water. There are approximately 30 cases of human CNS coenurosis
    reported in the scientific literature in South Africa, Europe, India, the USA, Brazil, and Israel.
    T. multiceps is the only species reported to cause human CNS infection. Cerebral infestation
    due to T. serialis has been reported in sheep. T. brauni has been reported in Central and South
    Africa. T. glomeratus has been detected in the brain of nonhuman primates. Human CNS
    infestation usually presents with severe headache, disturbances of personality, weight loss,
    nuchal rigidity, and intracranial hypertension. Hemiparesis, weakness, and papilledema are
    also common. The most effective treatment is surgery, and is often used to relieve intracranial
    hypertension and remove the source of inflammation. Antiparasitic therapy with albendazole
    and praziquantel has been successful in some patients.

    Conclusion
    This work explains how could coenuri infest humans and cause CNS infestation symptom.
    Although, only T. multiceps reported to cause human CNS infestation, the other coenuri (T.
    serialis, T. brauni, and T. glomerata) also noted to be the risk of infestation.
