|March 1, 1986
Summary
Spinal cysticercosis is rare, with four cases identified among 356 central nervous system (CNS) cysticercosis patients. Migrating cysts within the spinal subarachnoid space were observed, often presenting with hydrocephalus.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Cysticercosis, a parasitic infection caused by the larval cysts of the tapeworm Taenia solium, can affect the central nervous system (CNS).
- Spinal involvement in neurocysticercosis is less common than cerebral involvement but can lead to significant neurological deficits.
