A contribution to the etiology of racemose cysticercosis.

چکیده
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.

Extraparenchymal (Racemose) Neurocysticercosis and Its Multitude Manifestations: A Comprehensive Review
Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. In the brain it occurs in two forms: parenchymal and extraparenchymal or racemose cysts. The clinical presentation of racemose cysts is pleomorphic, and is quite different from parenchymal cysticercosis. The clinical diagnosis of racemose cysts is quite challenging, wit...
متن کاملImprovement of the racemose type with antihistamines
Infection of the human central nervous system (CNS) by the larvae of Taenia solium, termed neurocysticercosis (NCC), is endemic in most developing countries, where it is a major cause of acquired seizures and other neurological morbidity, including neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, despite its frequent manifestation, some findings, such as cognitive impairment and dementia, remain poorly unde...

متن کاملMR imaging of intracranial cysticercosis: comparison with CT and anatomopathologic features.
Eight patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with CT and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Two cysts were shown better with MR than with CT. A conspicuous, high-intensity mural nodule containing the scolex allowed specific identification of intraventricular and parenchymal cysticerci. CT evidence of calcification and metrizamide enhancement in the nodule was also noted in one case. Racemo...
متن کاملBruns' syndrome and racemose neurocysticercosis: a case report.
Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium. The parasite may infect the central nervous system, causing neurocysticercosis (NCC). The clinical manifestations depend on load, type, size, location, stage of development of the cysticerci, and the host's immune response against the parasite. The racemose variety occurs in the ventricles or basal cisterns ...
