Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis: Demographic, clinicoradiological, and inflammatory features
BACKGROUND Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis (ExPNCC), an infection caused by Taenia solium cysticerci that mainly occurs in the ventricular compartment (Ve) or the basal subarachnoid space (SAb), is more severe but less frequent and much less studied than parenchymal neurocysticercosis (ParNCC). Demographic, clinical, radiological, and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid features of patients affected...

متن کاملExtraparenchymal (Racemose) Neurocysticercosis and Its Multitude Manifestations: A Comprehensive Review
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. The clinical diagnosis of racemose cysts is quite challenging, wit...
متن کاملExtraparenchymal neurocysticercosis in the United States: a case report
INTRODUCTION Neurocysticercosis is endemic in the developing world, but is becoming more common in the United States due to immigration. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old Caucasian man presented with headache, nausea and vomiting and was found to have hydrocephalus and meningitis. Brain imaging and immunological studies were suggestive of neurocysticercosis. Endoscopic removal of the cyst resul...
متن کاملSix autoantibodies associated with autoimmune encephalitis are not detectable in the cerebrospinal fluid of suicide attempters
Previous findings suggest a link between neuroinflammatory processes and suicidality. Despite several lines of evidence supporting this link, including increased pro-inflammatory markers in blood-, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)- and in post-mortem brain samples from suicidal individuals, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this pilot study, we explored the possibility that autoim...
