Skeletal Muscle Involvement

Cysticercosis is considered a common healthcare problem, especially in developing countries. The invasion of muscle by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium (i.e., Cysticercus cellulosae) usually occurs in association with CNS cysts, concurrent muscle cysts, or both. Isolated skeletal muscle involvement is rare and presents with nonspecific symptoms resulting in a diagnostic dilemma for the treating physician. We report a 20-year-old female with isolated cysticercosis of right sternocleidomastoid muscle presenting as a right neck swelling and mild pain for 4 months, whose diagnosis was established by ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomogram (CT) scan. She was managed conservatively with oral albendazole therapy for four weeks resulting in complete resolution.

<p class="abstract">An infection with the larval stage of tapeworm (<em>Taenia solium</em>) is known as cysticercosis. It is seen as cysts in various human tissues, most commonly in the the brain and orbit. Head and neck (except brain and orbit) is a rare location for cysticercosis. We present a case of lateral neck swelling which turned out to be solitary cysticercosis of sternocleidomastoid (SCM). The case is reported because it is rare and to reinforce the fact that possibility of parasitic infection should be considered while dealing with a case of neck swelling. It can be managed medically and high resolution sonography can be a reliable tool for diagnosis and follow-up<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

ABSTRACT Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. We present a rare case of a 25-year-old adult presenting with neck swelling in the upper part of neck appearing to arise from sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. A definitive diagnosis could not be established on the basis of computed tomography and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The patient was taken up for incision biopsy, which confirmed cysticercosis. The case is reported to reinforce the fact that parasitic etiology should be kept in mind while dealing with a case of neck swelling. How to cite this article Gupta N, Gupta M.

Abstract Objectives This paper describes a simple method of securing tissue coverage of the great vessels at the initial surgery by rotating the divided sternal heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, a routine step during laryngectomy, and approximating them to the prevertebral fascia. The paper presents an illustrated case example where this technique in a salvage laryngectomy repair resulted in a protected vascular axis following a salivary leak. Results Since utilising this technique, there has been a marked reduction in the requirement of subsequent flap procedures to protect vessels, and no episodes of threatened or actual carotid blowout.
