Abstract:
Disseminated cysticercosis is defined by the presence of multiple vesicular cystic lesions in the brain with cysts demonstrable in at least two other body parts. The exact course of disseminated cysticercosis is not known and the individual cysts either become inflamed or calcify. A patient's quality of life is often poor and disseminated cysticercosis treatment is far from satisfactory. Anecdotal reports have suggested dual antiparasitic therapy to be beneficial for treating diffuse parenchymal neurocysticerci and might be worth trying in patients with massively infiltrating disseminated cysticercosis with concomitant corticosteroids.
