Cerebellar Neurocysticercosis as Long‐Term Complication of Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation from Haploidentical Donor

open access: yesCase Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Neurocysticercosis, an infection of the central nervous system with the larval stage of the cestode Taenia solium, is uncommon in developed countries. We report a case of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a haploidentical donor complicated, in the long term, by T.

Intracranial Cysts: An Imagery Diagnostic Challenge

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Intracerebral cysts and cystic appearing intracerebral masses are common findings at routine cerebral imaging examination. We discuss here the most interesting aspects of some intracerebral cysts encountered in medical practice in terms of imaging, clinical and pathological description, and problems of differential diagnosis. On an almost routine basis,

Racemose neurocysticercosis - neuroimaging guide the diagnosis

open access: yesBiomédica, 2016
La neurocisticercosis es la primera causa de parasitosis del sistema nervioso central y de epilepsia adquirida en países en vía de desarrollo. Las manifestaciones clínicas de la neurocisticercosis, especialmente la variante racemosa, son pleomórficas e inespecíficas, características que dificultan el diagnóstico y lo convierten en un desafío para el ...

Taenia crassiceps injection into the subarachnoid space of rats simulates radiological and morphological features of racemose neurocysticercosis

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: Neurocysticercosis is a major public health concern. Although its eradication appears feasible, the disease remains endemic in developing countries and has emerged again in Europe and in the USA. Basic studies on neurocysticercosis are needed to
