Intraventricular migration of an isolated fourth ventricular cysticercus following cerebrospinal fluid shunting
BACKGROUND Isolated intraventricular neurocysticercosis (NCC) is less frequently seen and can be missed on plain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequence is an extremely helpful sequence in identifying the lesion but is rarely used routinely. CASE DESCRIPTION Here, we report a case of young male adult who presented with dimi...
متن کاملIntraventricular vancomycin in the treatment of ventriculitis associated with cerebrospinal fluid shunting and drainage.
The results of treatment of 50 cases of ventriculitis associated with the use of cerebrospinal fluid shunts or external ventricular drains, and treated with intraventricular vancomycin, are reported. While the overall cure rate was 66% with four cases lost to follow-up, in those cases where treatment involved shunt removal, 20 mg vancomycin daily intraventricularly, and another appropriate syst...
متن کاملintraventricular haemorrhage . Fibrinolysis in cerebrospinal fluid after
Concentrations of cross linked fibrin degradation products were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid from five 'normal' preterm infants (median 102 ng/ml), four preterm infants with intraventricular haemorrhage (median 315 ng/ ml), and five infants with progressive posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (median 1000 ng/ml). Serial samples of cerebrospinal fluid from one infant showed a peak con...
متن کاملCysticercus antigens in cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with neurocysticercosis.
Antigens were detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with neurocysticercosis (NC) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using polyclonal sera of rabbit anti-Taenia solium cysticerci (anti-Tso) and anti- Taenia crassiceps cysticerci vesicular fluid (anti-Tcra or anti-Tcra <30 kDa). A group of NC patients (n = 174) were studied (NC), including 40 patients in different ...
متن کاملA Subglandular Breast Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst Following Postsurgical Shunt Migration.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage catheters have been associated with numerous complications in various anatomic locations, because of migration, infection, and obstruction. However, breast-related CSF shunt complications tend to occur infrequently or have seldom been reported in the empirical literature. Therefore, a case is presented detailing a breast pseudocyst caused by migration and subs...
