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 کاملAnaesthetic Management of Patients Undergoing Intraventricular Neuro-Endoscopic Procedures
Endoscopic neurosurgery has a long history of solid progression of over a century (Enchev et al., 2008). In this period, several neuroendoscopic procedures were described, but although steady technical improvements increased the endoscopic functionality and indications, poor magnification and illumination kept neuroendoscopy difficult and unreliable, keeping it out of routine practice until the...
متن کاملEndoscopic management of hypertensive intraventricular haemorrhage with obstructive hydrocephalus
BACKGROUND Intracranial haemorrhage accounts for 30-60 % of all stroke admissions into a hospital, with hypertension being the main risk factor. Presence of intraventricular haematoma is considered a poor prognostic factor due to the resultant obstruction to CSF and the mass effect following the presence of blood resulting in raised intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus. We report the results...
متن کاملIntraventricular Taenia solium neurocysticercosis: a report of three cases.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, is reported to be a common condition in Nepal. So far imaging diagnosis was mainstay of the diagnosis. In this paper, we report three patients presenting with neurological symptoms due to intraventricular NCC. We have diagnosed the causative agent as T. solium on molecular basis. Further research is warranted to assess the ac...
