Intramedullary cysticercosis.

R N Holtzman, J E Hughes, R K Sachdev

    Surgical Neurology
    |August 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A spinal cyst caused progressive leg weakness in a patient. Surgical removal of the cysticercal cyst at the T-4 level successfully resolved the spastic paraparesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • A 28-year-old male presented with paraparesis following trauma.
    • Initial management included laminectomy and spinal cord stimulator implantation without significant improvement.

    Observation:

    • Progressive spastic paraparesis persisted despite multiple interventions.
    • Advanced imaging revealed an intramedullary lesion at the T-4 level.

    Findings:

    • Surgical exploration identified an intramedullary cysticercal cyst.
    • Complete excision of the cyst was achieved.

    Implications:

    • Intramedullary cysticercosis can mimic other spinal cord pathologies.
    • Complete surgical removal is crucial for recovery from spinal cysticercosis.
