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]
CureusRacemose 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.

Diffuse Leptomeningeal Glioneuronal Tumor in an Adult: A Diagnostic Challenge
Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2022 Here we report a rare case of diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor (DLGNT) in a 35-year-old man, who was misdiagnosed twice as having tuberculosis meningitis and later racemose neurocysticercosis.

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 ...

Racemose neurocysticercosis - neuroimaging guide the diagnosis
Biomédica, 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 ...
