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.

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 ...

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,

A painless lump in the breast in a 43-year-old Chinese woman was found on surgical excision to be a cysticercus presumed to be that of Taenia solium. Routine investigations failed to reveal infection at any other site.

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 ...

A 14-year-old girl had a four-month history of a painless, enlarging mass in the right upper eyelid. Histopathologic examination revealed the cystic mass to be Cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of Taenia solium. This patient had been in Vietnam and Laos several years previously and, while there, developed a flu-like syndrome.

Cysticercosis in Otolaryngology
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1976Cysticercosis is not likely to be the first diagnosis the otologist has in mind when regarding tumors in the head and neck area. The fact that this disease may present a diagnostic and therapeutic problem is illustrated by three cases, appearing in the tongue, buccal mucosa, and midline of the neck, respectively.

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 ...

Cysticercosis and Echinococcosis
2012Cysticercosis and cystic echinococcosis are zoonotic parasitic diseases commonly transmitted by livestock animals. Past and future efforts to reduce transmission of these diseases adopt a One Health approach where control measures are implemented largely in the parasites' animal hosts in order to bring about, indirectly, a reduction in human disease ...
