Brain parenchymal, subarachnoid racemose, and intraventricular cysticercosis in an Indian man

MR imaging of intraventricular cysticercosis.

Intraventricular cysticercosis cysts can migrate through the ventricular system and produce hydrocephalus. MR is more sensitive than CT in the detection of these cysts.

A contribution to the etiology of racemose cysticercosis.

An aberrant case of proliferating coenurosis caused by Taenia serialis in immunosuppressed mice is described. The coenuri closely resembled examples of racemose cysticerci described in the literature and the present results are discussed with reference to human cases of asexually proliferating larval cestode infections.

Cysticercosis in Man

Morphometry of brain parenchymal vessels following subarachnoid hemorrhage.

This study was performed to test the hypothesis that vascular spasm can occur in brain parenchymal vessels following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Five cc of autologous blood was injected into the cisterna magna of test cats and 5 cc of saline into control cats. After 2 hours, a cranial window was created and cortical tissue frozen in situ with liquid nitrogen. Statistical analysis of 124 test...
