Myelopathy secondary to cerebral and spinal neurocysticercosis

Descripción del Articulo

Neurocysticercosis is the most common CNS parasitic disease but spinal presentation of this condition is rare, with a higher incidence in developing countries like ours. We report the case of a male patient 61 of age diagnosed with generalized neurocysticercosis in addition to the secondary presenta...

Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente varón de 61 años de edad diagnosticado de neurocisticercosis subaracnoidea generalizada con compromiso cerebral y medular además de la secundaria presentación de hidrocefalia hipertensiva y compresión de la medula espinal, esta última se caracterizó la por la aparición de paraparesia, alteraciones en la sensibilidad y retención urinaria. El diagnóstico final se hizo mediante una resonancia magnética, por ello hemos de destacar la importancia de la neuroimagen en el diagnóstico definitivo de esta patología.Universidad de San Martín de Porres.
