  • Title: [Surgical treatment of neurocysticercosis in a 12-year old child].
    Author: Cortnum S, Knudsen KB, Sørensen P.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2011 Sep 05; 173(36):2203-4. PubMed ID: 21893007.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of neurocysticercosis in a 12-year old refugee from Zambia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a solitary, ring enhancing cystic lesion located subcortically in the left parietal lobe. Despite extensive diagnostic workup it was not possible to rule out alternative differential diagnoses. Serological tests for neurocysticercosis came out negative. The lesion was removed en bloc using microsurgical technique. Subsequent histological examination revealed a thick-walled cyst containing a cysticercus identifiable as a Taenia solium.
