  • Title: [Subcutaneous cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis].
    Author: Juhl ZK, Løgager VB.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2000 Dec 04; 162(49):6691-2. PubMed ID: 11188058.
    Abstract:
    Two cases, one of subcutaneous cysticercosis and one of neurocysticercosis, are described--both in young women, who had been in Mexico and ex-Yugoslavia, respectively. Neurocysticercosis is the most common neuroparasitosis in the world (and probably the reason for 2/3 of the cases of epilepsy) and as travels to endemic areas and immigration are on the increase, general practitioners should have cysticercosis in mind when treating a patient with subcutaneous noduli or cerebral symptoms.
