CYSTICERCOSIS CELLULOSAE OF THE OPTIC DISC WITH GENERALIZED CYSTICERCOSIS

Cysticercosis Cellulosae of the Optic Disc with Generalized Cysticercosis.

CYSTICERCOSIS of the brain has been known for centuries and most of the earlier reports came from central Europe. MacArthur (1934) and Dixon and Hargreaves (1944) have aroused interest in the problem of cerebral cysticercosis recently. From India very many reports have been published about the cerebral manifestations of cysticercosis (Dogra and Ahern, 1935; Menon and Veliath, 1940; McRobert, 19...

Generalized Cysticercosis Cellulosæ

Optic nerve cysticercosis: imaging findings.

We present the imaging findings of retrobulbar optic nerve cysticercosis in a 50-year-old woman with a 6-month history of vision loss. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed an approximately 7-mm ring-enhancing cyst with a mural nodule located in the anterior portion of the left optic nerve. A contrast-enhanced MR imaging study revealed a cystic lesion with peripheral enhancement of the mural nodule. So...

cysticercosis . pseudohypertrophy in Generalized muscular

Cysticercosis usually presents with epilepsy (MacArthur, 1934) or intermittent obstructive hydrocephalus (Dixon & Lipscomb, 1961). Involvement of skeletal and cardiac muscle in cysticercosis usually remains silent. Although myalgic, nodular and pseudohypertrophic forms have been described, with pseudohypertrophy probably the rarest (Serre et al., 1970), painless, symmetrical massive enlargement...
