Abstract:
Although well described in the current literature, Neurocysticercosis [NCC] remains an enigma when confronted by practitioners. This is in part due to the haphazard nature of the parasitic infection on the central nervous system [CNS]. These include single or multiple anatomic sites of infection, stage of parasitosis, and the resultant inflammatory response. As a result, NCC can present with a complex constellation of symptomatic presentations, making therapeutic regiments highly individualized. Despite intervention, other impediments may arise post-therapy due to the nature of the infection. We present a case of rapidly progressive symptomatic NCC that initially was successfully treated, however would eventually succumb to complications of ventriculitis.
摘要:
虽然在目前的文献中有很好的描述,当医生面对时,神经囊虫病[NCC]仍然是一个谜。这部分是由于中枢神经系统[CNS]上的寄生虫感染的偶然性。这些包括感染的单个或多个解剖部位,寄生虫病阶段,以及由此产生的炎症反应。因此,NCC可以呈现复杂的症状表现,使治疗方案高度个性化。尽管干预,由于感染的性质,治疗后可能会出现其他障碍。我们介绍了一个快速进展的症状性NCC的病例,最初成功治疗,然而,最终会屈服于脑室炎的并发症。
