Migrating intraventricular cysticercosis: magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Dr. Emerson L. Gasparetto – Rua Lopes Trovão 88 / 1702B 24110-071 Niterói RJ Brasil. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infestation affecting the central nervous system (CNS). It is frequent cause of seizures and hydrocephalus in adults from endemic regions, including Brazil. Brain parenchymal involvement occurs in 60 to 92% of patients with NCC, but intraventricular (IV) les...
متن کاملDemonstration of a symptomatic intraventricular cyst using direct intraventricular metrizamide instillation.
Some intraventricular mass lesions have proven difficult to delineate, even with a contrast-enhanced CT scan. The combination of intrathecal contrast and CT scanning has been especially useful in studying the ventricles and subarachnoid spaces of both the brain and spinal cord . We report a case in which we instilled metrizamide directly into the body of the left lateral ventricle to show the e...
متن کاملUnusual presentation of hydatid cyst – ruptured intraventricular hydatid
Echinococcosis in humans occurs as a result of infection by the larval stages of taenid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. Most of the intracranial hydatids develop in brain parenchyma. Hydatid cyst within the cerebral ventricle is quite unusual. Literature review showed few case reports of childhood as well as adult intraventricular hydatid cysts. None of these cases presented for the first t...
متن کاملSpontaneous intraventricular rupture of a craniopharyngioma cyst: A case report
Intraventricular rupture of craniopharyngioma cysts is an unusual event which is associated with a high risk of loculated or communicating hydrocephalus. A 75-year-old woman presented at the Emergency Department of our hospital with mental status deterioration due to chemical ventriculitis and acute hydrocephalus following the intraventricular rupture of a craniopharyngioma cyst. The patient wa...
متن کاملEntrance of metrizamide into an intraventricular cysticercosis cyst.
Although many computed tomographic (CT) features of cysticercosis cerebri have been described [1 -5], the recognition of ventricular cysticercosis cysts on plain CT scans is stili generally difficult or impossible . Recently, we observed entrance of metrizamide into a ventricular cysticercosis cyst after ventriculography. This new feature may be specific for intraventricular cyst icercosis cyst...
