Fourth ventricle computed tomography indexes: standardisation and characteristics in neurocysticercosis.
OBJECTIVES to propose standardisation of fourth ventricle dimensions and to study its characteristics in neurocysticercosis. METHOD a control group (CG) constituted by 114 individuals with normal CT, and 80 patients with neurocysticercosis composed the group with neurocysticercosis (GN). Measures of the inner cranial diameter (Cr), fronto-polar distance between both lateral ventricles (FP), a...

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...

Neurocysticercosis is a major public health problem in developing countries. Before computed tomography became available its diagnosis was very restricted and the conventional diagnostic methods were unreliable. It also was frequently necessary to submit patients to costly and dangerous surgical procedures to confirm the precise nature of the disease. One hundred and seventy-one patients with n...
متن کاملNeurocysticercosis of the fourth ventricle associated with hydrocephalus.
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system with the cysts of Taenia solium, the pig tapeworm. Infection presents with a pleomorphic picture depending on the stage and location of the infection and the immune response of the infected host. Historically confined to the developing world, neurocysticercosis is no longer limited to endemic regions, as globalization, tr...
