Clinical diagnosis : Loss of consciousness + Focal Seizure Topical diagnosis : Bilateral frontal, temporal sinistra, bilateral frontal subdural, subarachnoid parietal dextra Etiological diagnosis : Neurocysticercosis (Probable) Final diagnosis 15
NeurocystIcErcosis Parasitic disease cause by t. solium , which is endemic in south America, asia , and Africa Weeks to years following ingestion, tissue cysticerci develop in various sites, including the brain Symptoms depend on location – seizures ( Intraparencymal ) Diagnosis – Imaging most common, but Serology, Fundoscopic exam, Spinal studies and biopsy may also aid Treatment – antiparastics , anti-inflammatories, surgery
Clinical manifestation Intraparenchymal ncc Seizure Cognitive impairment Neurological deficit (hemiparesis) Extraparenchymal ncc Subarachnoid (intracranial ht , arachnoiditis/ meningitis) Intraventricular (hydrocephalus) Spinal Orbital or ocular (visual deficit, eye movement limitation) Case Presented with Agitated Loss of conciusness (somnolence) Fever Focal seizure file:///C:/Users/ASUS/OneDrive/Desktop/case%20infeksi/NCC,%20pratibha%20singh.pdf
Imaging findings Imaging findings vary based on stage of infection Vesicular – cystic, hypodense, round Colloid vesicular – cyst begins to degenerate: cyst wall and cavity increases In intensity, surrounding enhancement 2/2 edema (best visualized by flair on mri ) Granular Nodular – Cyst retracts, edema decreases, decreased enhancement Nodular calcified – calcified granuloma, no enhancement Only pathognomonic findings = scolex Elongated, bright nodule within cyst cavity (Fig. B)
case Multiple cystic lesions (HU 25): firm boundaries, irregular edge at bilateral frontal region with central dot sign and perifocal oedema Multiple hipodens lesion at frontal bilateral region, temporal sinistra, bilateral subdural frontal and subarachnoid parietal dextra suspect neurocysticercosis Patognomonic sign (+) scolex Vesicular stage (hole in dot sign appearance)
