Cysticercosis in ophthalmology
Survey of Ophthalmology, 2022Cysticercosis is caused by Taenia solium, a cestode or tapeworm that preferentially affects the subcutaneous tissue, brain, muscle, and the eye. It is traditionally a disease of low socioeconomic regions, but large-scale population migration has made it a matter of global concern. Its ocular invasion is a potentially blinding disease.

Intraventricular cysticercosis
Neurosurgery, 1983Abstract The authors review their experience with 21 cases of intraventricular cysticercosis, which corresponded to 28% of all cases of neurocysticercosis in their department during an 18-month period. The surgical approach depends on the cyst's location; one uses the transcortical microsurgical approach to reach the lateral ventricles ...

Although cysticercosis is a common disease in developing countries, oral lesions produced by this parasitic infestation are rare. In this report we document a case of oral cysticercosis in a 7-year-old girl who sought treatment for an asymptomatic nodule of the left buccal mucosa that had been clinically diagnosed as a mucocele.

Cerebral cysticercosis is a neurologic disease with myriad manifestations. Three basic types of infections occur: localized, widespread, and proliferative inflammatory reaction. A case is reported illustrating the first type of infection and one type of clinical presentation,--focal seizures.

Cysticercosis, the consequence of ingesting viable eggs of the porcine tapeworm Taenia solium, currently remains one of the most common human parasitic conditions worldwide. Although preventable by the proper disposal of human wastes, cysticercosis of the central nervous system (neurocysticercosis) accounts for a substantial proportion of cases of ...

A 35-year-old Indian male with nodules in the tongue, lower lip and subcutaneous tissues and convulsions of recent onset is presented. Surgical excision of the nodules confirmed the clinical diagnosis of cysticercosis and relieved the lingual discomfort. This is the 26th case of oral cysticercosis being reported.

A case of cerebral cysticercosis in an American child is described. The patient was only 2 years old and had never left the United States. Her symptoms began with febrile seizures and progressed to focal motor seizures. Cerebrospinal fuid pleocytosis with eosinophilia, candle-guttering of the walls of the ventricles on pneumoencephalography, and a ...

We observed and photographed intraocular cysticercosis in a 50-year-old woman. The subretinal cysticercus in the macular area produced a macular break during its passage from the subretinal space into the vitreous cavity. The parasite was removed by closed vitrectomy, but the macular break was left untreated because there was no vitreous traction to ...

Abstract Background: We report on a case of orbital cysticercosis in a 27‐year‐old Burmese man who presented with an orbital swelling 7 months after arriving in Australia. Methods: The presenting history and findings are reviewed and treatment options are discussed. A brief review of the life cycle of the tapeworm Taenia solium is provided.

Two intravitreal Taenia cysts were removed intact by pars plana vitrectomy from a 59-year-old woman who had never left the continental United States. The intraocular course of the cysts progressed from an initial chorioretinal location, accompanied by an intense focal inflammatory reaction, to free floating in the vitreous cavity within two months ...
