Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1992
With increasing immigration from endemic regions, the incidence of cysticercosis in North America is rising. This fascinating disease with its varied presentations may pose complex management dilemmas whose resolutions often require a combined approach to treatment involving medical and, in some cases, selected surgical intervention.

Cysticercosis is a common public health problem in the Tropics. However, disseminated cysticercosis is rare. We report a patient with chronic liver disease and seizures, in whom a simple plain radiographic examination helped in narrowing down the differential diagnosis to disseminated cysticercosis.

Surgical Neurology, 1986
In 1976 a 28-year-old Ecuadoran male suffered paraparesis after a kick to his back. Iophendylate myelography was followed by thoracic laminectomy with incomplete resolution of the paraparesis. One year later, worsening of the paraparesis was managed by further thoracic laminectomy without improvement.

Cysticercosis is the result of infection with the larval stage of the tapeworm, Taenia solium. The parasite may settle at any site in the body without causing symptoms, which arise almost exclusively from the involvement of brain or eye, and this may occur several years after infection. Cysticercosis is one of the leading causes of acquired epilepsy in

A former regular soldier who had served in India before the second World War was in 1953-1955 diagnosed as suffering from cysticercosis affecting the brain and spinal cord as well as the muscles. Twenty years later he was found to have sustained severe damage to the lumbar spine, eventually proved due to cysticercosis involving the bones, joints and ...

The immunosenescence, a peculiarity of the aging process, increases the susceptibility of elderly individuals to neoplasia, infections, and parasitosis, among them, cysticercosis. The aim of this study was to compare the epidemiological and anatomopathological characteristics of cysticercosis in elderly or nonelderly patients. We reviewed 72 autopsies,

Ocular cysticercosis could involve subconjunctival space, anterior chamber, extraocular muscle, subretinal space, or vitreous. The presence of intraocular live cyst is a potential threat to visual acuity. The removal of the cyst in-toto is thus of importance to prevent inflammatory reaction and ocular damage.
