  • Title: CNS cysticercosis--a problem of differential diagnosis.
    Author: Popper H, Bertha G, Walter GF, Schneider G.
    Journal: Arch Psychiatr Nervenkr (1970); 1982; 231(4):369-74. PubMed ID: 7115053.
    Abstract:
    Although a well-known disease worldwide, cerebral cysticercosis in European countries is a rare event. Due to increased travel to East-Asian and Latin American countries it is possible that the occurrence of brain cysticercosis will become more frequent. These facts should remind us of the possibility of cysticercosis of the nervous system. A case of cerebral and spinal cord cysticercosis is presented, causing symptoms of progressive dementia with ventricular occlusion and hydrocephalus. Differential diagnosis causes a major problem. It is shown that myelography may demonstrate characteristic features of the disease.
