abstract={Enterobiasis is a common intestinal parasitic infection of humans caused by <i>Enterobius vermicularis</i> (<i>E</i>. <i>vermicularis</i>). Although it affects all age groups, in most instances, it causes a self-limiting illness. Infections in children may result in severe morbidity. Enterobiasis can remain as a chronic infection in cases of bad personal hygiene, and those who are not adequately treated. Dissemination of <i>E</i>. <i>vermicularis</i> larvae from the perineal and peri-anal regions into the vagina and other associated regions has been adequately documented. There are several reports of ectopic presentations of enterobiasis. This report presents a fatal case of a four-year-old child with <i>E</i>. <i>vermicularis</i> infection who presented with central nervous system (CNS) complications.},
