Racemose Neurocysticercosis

Seminars in Neurology, 2013
Neurocysticercosis is one of the most common infections of the central nervous system in the developing world. Most often, neurocysticerci are found in the brain parenchyma, at the gray-white matter junction. A rare form of neurocysticercosis is the development of cysts at the basal subarachnoid region, termed racemose neurocysticercosis.

A rare case of racemose neurocysticercosis of the posterior fossa. [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep, 2014
A 43-year-old man presented with a 3 month history of headache, vertigo and swaying while walking. MRI of the brain showed cystic lesions involving the cerebellopontine angle cisterns, the right perimedullary cistern, the fourth ventricle and bilateral foramen of Luschka with resultant obstruction to cerebrospinal fluid outflow and hydrocephalus.

Extraparenchymal (Racemose) Neurocysticercosis and Its Multitude Manifestations: A Comprehensive Review. [PDF]

J Clin Neurol, 2015
Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. In the brain it occurs in two forms: parenchymal and extraparenchymal or racemose cysts. The clinical presentation of racemose cysts is pleomorphic, and is quite different from parenchymal cysticercosis.

Racemose Neurocysticercosis Presenting As Vasculitic Infarct and Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Rare Presentation. [PDF]

Cureus
Racemose neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a rare and aggressive form of parasitic infection that primarily involves the subarachnoid space. It can lead to serious complications such as hydrocephalus and ischemic stroke due to vasculitis. Early recognition of this condition is essential for preventing long-term neurological damage.
