    Posterior Fossa Craniotomy for Adherent Fourth Ventricle Neurocysticercosis.
    Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) 2018 Jun 14. Epub 2018 Jun 14.
    Department of Neurosurgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
    Background And Importance: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an infectious helminthic disease often presenting in patients who have immigration or travel history from areas where NCC is endemic. Fourth ventricle cysts from NCC pose a unique treatment challenge, as there is little consensus on the best treatment. This case study describes the treatment of a patient with fourth ventricle neurocysticercosis (FVNCC), examines the therapeutic decision-making, and provides a video of a posterior fossa craniotomy (PFC) resection of a degenerative cyst.

    Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
    Neurocysticercosis accounts for approximately 30% of all epilepsy cases in most developing countries. Immunodiagnosis of cysticercosis is complex and strongly influenced by the course of infection, the disease burden and cyst location, and the immune response of the host. The main approach to immunodiagnosis should thus be to evaluate whether the serological results are consistent with the diagnosis suggested by imaging. Read More

    Department of Neurology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA; Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. Electronic address:
    Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system, and one of the most common causes of epilepsy worldwide. The radiologic appearance of neurocysticercosis varies depending on the stage of the disease, and the stage of the disease determines the appropriate treatment. In this article, we review key neuroimaging characteristics of the stages of NCC (vesicular, colloidal, granular, and calcified) and treatment principles for these different stages of the disease.

    Prevalence and risk factors for Taenia solium cysticercosis in school-aged children: A school based study in western Sichuan, People's Republic of China.
    PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2018 05 8;12(5):e0006465. Epub 2018 May 8.
    Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine, Department of Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, United States of America.
    Background: Taenia solium cysticercosis affects millions of impoverished people worldwide and can cause neurocysticercosis, an infection of the central nervous system which is potentially fatal. Children may represent an especially vulnerable population to neurocysticercosis, due to the risk of cognitive impairment during formative school years. While previous epidemiologic studies have suggested high prevalence in rural China, the prevalence in children as well as risk factors and impact of disease in low-resource areas remain poorly characterized.

    Repeated Peritoneal Catheter Blockage Caused by Neurocysticercosis Following Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement for Hydrocephalus.
    J Neurosci Rural Pract 2018 Apr-Jun;9(2):268-271
    Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhengzhou, China.
    Cerebral cysticercosis is common, but the possibility for repeated occurrence of peritoneal catheter blockage caused by neurocysticercosis (NCC) after two revisions following ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement for hydrocephalus is unusual. Herein, we describe one rare case in which peritoneal catheter revision was performed two times unsuccessfully. Endoscopic cysternostomy rather than peritoneal catheter adjustment was performed successfully, and histopathological examination of excised cystic samples confirmed NCC in our hospital. Read More

    Department of Neurosurgery, Nagano Municipal Hospital, Japan.
    Neurocysticercosis is a condition rarely reported in Japan, and therefore, the specific route of infestation in our set up has not been conclusively elucidated. Preoperative diagnosis remains difficult to make with certainty due to the slowly evolving nature of the disease and the fact that there are no typical characteristic clinical findings particularly associated with the disease. The hematological, serological, serum biochemistry, stool, and radiological tests were nonspecific for neurocysticercosis. Read More

    Did Antonio Vallisneri (1661-1730) really describe frontal sinus osteoma? Unexpected insights for paleo-neuroparasitology.
    Neurol Sci 2018 Mar 22. Epub 2018 Mar 22.
    Unit of Medical Humanities, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Sciences, University of Padua Medical School, via A. Gabelli 61, 35121, Padua, Italy.
    It has been believed for a long time that the Paduan scholar Antonio Vallisneri (1661-1730) described the second historical case of the frontal sinus osteoma in 1733. By historico-medically reexamining this case, we conclude that the brain concretions he described were not a case of frontal sinus osteoma, while they appear to have been pathological outcomes of neurocysticercosis, whose larval stages would only be described by Johann Goeze (1731-1793) later, in 1784. Thus, this case becomes relevant for the history of neuroparasitology. Read More
