Infestation of extraocular muscle by Cysticercus cellulosae.
Reports of orbital cysticercosis are uncommon despite the high incidence of brain and ocular involvement. Infestation of extraocular muscle is exceedingly rare. Two cases of cysticercosis of the extraocular muscles are reported here. Surgical removal of the encysted parasites successfully resolved the infestation in both cases.
متن کاملLacrimal Sac Cysticercosis: A Rare Site for Manifestation
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, subretinal tissue, extraocular muscle, and la...
متن کاملIn-toto removal of a subretinal Cysticercus cellulosae by pars plana vitrectomy.
A case of subretinal cysticercosis was treated with laser coagulations round the cyst prior to surgery. In-toto removal of the living cysticercus was performed by pars plana vitrectomy. Two weeks after surgery 25/20 vision was regained. Histopathology of the cyst confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
متن کاملComparisons between scolex and membrane antigens of Cysticercus fasciolaris and Cysticercus cellulosae larvae for immunodiagnosis of neurocysticercosis.
The antigen source for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and enzyme-linked immunotransfer blot for neurocysticercosis is generally Taenia solium. A comparison of the membrane and scolex extracts of Cysticercus cellulosae and Cysticercus fasciolaris (larval stage of Taenia taeniaeformis) for the immunodiagnosis of neurocysticercosis has been performed. C. fasciolaris cysts were produced ...
متن کاملStudies on the development of DNA vaccine against Cysticercus cellulosae infection and its efficacy.
DNA vaccine against Cysticercus cellulosae infection was developed and its efficacy was tested. A pair of primers specific to antigen B gene of C. cellulosae was designed which amplified the gene successfully with RT-PCR. The gene was ligated to PV93 vector, and the recombinant of antigen B gene and PV93 was transformed to JM83 cells. The transformed JM83 cells were cultured in a large scale an...
