  • Title: [Edematous form of neurocysticercosis: report of 4 cases].
    Author: Braga FM, Ferraz FA.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1981 Dec; 39(4):434-43. PubMed ID: 6280650.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of the oedematous form of neurocysticercosis are reported. This form is relatively rare and characterized by symptoms of intracranial hypertension and severe bilateral papilledema. Focal convulsive disorders are common. CSF studies show positive reaction for cysticercosis and ventriculography, the presence of small, narrowed lateral ventricles. Treatment based on ACTH and dexamethasone revelead good evolution as far as intracranial hypertension is concerned, not requiring surgical decompression as used before.
