Intraventricular Neurocysticercosis and Bruns’ Syndrome: A Review
Neurocysticercosis, caused by Taenia solium, is a common cause of neurologic disease worldwide. Approximately 2,000 cases per year are diagnosed in the United States. Intraventricular neurocysticercosis is a severe form of the disease, in which cysticerci within the cerebral ventricles cause obstructive hydrocephalus. Symptoms of hydrocephalus include headache, nausea, vomiting, altered mental ...
متن کاملBruns Syndrome: a deadly sign
Bruns syndrome was first described in 1902, as a sudden onset of severe headaches and vomiting associated to a vestibular syndrome provoked by abrupt change in head position. It is related to an episodic obstructive hydrocephalous caused by an intraventricular mass that acts like a ball-valve mechanism. A 52 years old man was admitted to the intensive care unit for a sudden onset coma. His Glas...

The Bruns syndrome is an unusual phenomenon, characterized by attacks of sudden and severe headache, vomiting and vertigo, triggered by abrupt movement of the head. The presumptive cause of the Bruns syndrome is a mobile deformable intraventricular lesion leading to an episodic obstructive hydrocephalus resulted from an intermittent or positional CSF obstruction with elevation of intracranial p...

We define higher polyhedral K-groups for commutative rings, starting from the stable groups of elementary automorphisms of polyhedral algebras. Both Volodin’s theory and Quillen’s + construction are developed. In the special case of algebras associated with unit simplices one recovers the usual algebraic K-groups, while the general case of lattice polytopes reveals many new aspects, governed by...
متن کاملBruns' syndrome and racemose neurocysticercosis: a case report.
Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium. The parasite may infect the central nervous system, causing neurocysticercosis (NCC). The clinical manifestations depend on load, type, size, location, stage of development of the cysticerci, and the host's immune response against the parasite. The racemose variety occurs in the ventricles or basal cisterns ...
