  • Title: [Neurocysticercosis: neuropathologic study of a fatal case treated with praziquantel].
    Author: de Queiroz AC, Andrade Filho Ade S.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1991 Mar; 49(1):106-10. PubMed ID: 1863234.
    Abstract:
    The neuropathological findings in a fatal case of neurocysticercosis treated with praziquantel are reported in this paper. The extensive necrosis of the parasites besides the exuberant inflammatory response evidence the efficacy of the drug. The severe and necrotizing type of the inflammatory response to the dead parasites may have played an important role in the cause of death of this patient, by developing severe intracranial hypertension.
