The Burden of Neurocysticercosis at a Single New York Hospital

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), a disease caused by the larval pork tapeworm Taenia solium, has emerged as an important infection in the United States. In this study, we describe the spectrum of NCC infection in eastern Long Island, where there is a growing population of immigrants from endemic countries.

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

Case 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.

Lacrimal Sac Cysticercosis: A Rare Site for Manifestation

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Cysticercosis, a parasitic tissue infestation caused by larval cysts (cysticercus cellulosae) of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, most commonly affects the central nervous system, subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and the eye. Ocular adnexal infestation in cysticercosis can involve various sites within the eye like vitreous humor ...

Intracranial Cysts: An Imagery Diagnostic Challenge

The 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,

Diagnosis and Treatment of Neurocysticercosis

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Neurocysticercosis, the infection caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Taenia solium, is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system and the most common cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide. This has primarily been a disease that remains endemic in low‐socioeconomic countries, but because of increased migration ...
