Discussion
Intestinal cestode(tapeworm ) is
characterized by multisegmented, scolex , and absence of digestive
tracts (1)as appears in our segments, but there is no feature of eggs
which all times the feature of proglottid segments, In our case the
patient had to get daily fresh water without treatment, she had eaten
uncooked intestinal parts of cows as rituals in the village (at the
wedding) all these factors predisposing to infection .but we didn’t
identify the exact type of helminth because there is no staining and we
exclude the Tanea spp which the segment is large and contain eggs. These
segments were first shown and not common in parasitology atlas. Our
finding needs further genetic testing to identify specific parasite .
