PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe seizure as a presenting symptom in individuals with recently diagnosed neurocysticercosis (NCC). METHODS Using logistic regression, we examined the probability of having seizures as a presenting symptom among those with active or transitional NCC by host age and gender, and by number of cysts, location of the cysts in the brain, and phase of evolut...
This paper presents three patients with a triad of syringomyelia, midline posterior fossa cysts, and hydrocephalus. In the first patient, the clinical presentation was related to spinal cord cavitation, and the cranial anomalies were unexpected. In cases 2 and 3, the brain anomalies dominated the clinical picture, and syringomyelia was unexpected. These cases show that an examination of the who...
Colloid cysts are mucous-filled masses with an outer fibrous layer. These cysts are rare developmental malformation and not a true neoplasm. They usually found incidentally and are asymptomatic; but in some cases may associate with rapid neurologic deterioration, herniation, and sudden death. Recognition of this rare but important diagnosis may result in decreasing mortality. In this report, we...
BACKGROUND Disease manifestations in neurocysticercosis (NCC) are frequently due to inflammation of degenerating Taenia solium brain cysts. Exacerbated inflammation post anthelmintic treatment is associated with leakage of the blood brain barrier (BBB) using Evans blue (EB) staining. How well EB extravasation into the brain correlates with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using gadolinium (Gd) ...
Cysticidal treatment of neurocysticercosis, an infection of humans and pig brains with Taenia solium, results in an early inflammatory response directed to cysts causing seizures and focal neurological manifestations. Treatment-induced pericystic inflammation and its association with blood brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, as determined by Evans blue (EB) extravasation, was studied in infected u...
Neurenteric cysts are rare congenital benign lesions of the central nervous system. These are essentially congenital endodermal cysts. Neurenteric cysts are seen more frequently in the spine than the brain (3:1), in particular involving the lower cervical/upper thoracic spine. Neurenteric cysts represent 0.31.3% of all intra spinal cystic lesions and are extremely rare intra cranially [1]. In t...
Toxoplasma gondii, the most common parasitic infection of human brain and eye, persists across lifetimes, can progressively damage sight, and is currently incurable. New, curative medicines are needed urgently. Herein, we develop novel models to facilitate drug development: EGS strain T. gondii forms cysts in vitro that induce oocysts in cats, the gold standard criterion for cysts. These cysts ...
S U M M A R Y — Three hundred land fifty seven computed tomography ( C T ) from 100 different patients with neurocysticercosis ( N C ) were studied between 1979 and 1988. All patients were treated with praziquantel ( P Z Q ) . A new classification attempting to recognize the CT evolution profile in N C as well as assigning a possible link between CT findings and biological conditions of cysts i...
CT scan imaging has been popularly applied for the diagnosis of brain tumor and brain cyst. CT scan image alleviate the difficulties of physicians in order to visualize affected regions. However sometime it is difficult to visualize very minute regions of tumors and cysts and differentiate between them and sometime they are wrongly predicted due to very minute appearance in the CT scan image es...
Background The use of the endoscope for various cranial procedures is gradually expanding. Intracranial cystic lesions in the brain are one of the most attractive targets for this minimally invasive procedure, thus avoiding conventional craniotomy. These cystic lesions in the brain, namely arachnoid cysts, are congenital. Surgical treatment depends on clinical presentation, location, and age. P...
