Cysticercosis is an infection with the larval form of the Taenia solium that commonly involves the central nervous system. Isolated muscular involvement is rare with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. We present a case of isolated cysticercosis of the extensor muscles of the forearm that presented a diagnostic challenge. High resolution ultrasound of the forearm helped in the diagnosis and the patient was managed successfully on anti-helminths and anti-inflammatory medications.

Neurocysticercosis is the infection of the central nervous system by the larval form of Taenia solium , the Cysticercus cellulosae. We studied 4011 computerized tomographies performed in TomoHPI Radioimaging Service, Hospital Pedro I, Campina Grande PB, Northern Brazil, since its installation on August 1993 to July 1995. 41 patients were diagnosed as having Cysticercus cerebral infestation, corresponding to an incidence of 1.02%. No cases were related in Campina Grande PB during 1991 according to hospitalizations under prospective payment rates. After this radioimaging service installation, we observed 1.86 cases per month. We conclude that Campina Grande has to be included as an endemic area of neurocysticercosis, needing health service measures to cease the cycle Taenia-Cysticercus, the only way to get rid of such a serious problem.

Spinal Meningiomas

Background: Meningioma is one of the most common neoplasms of the central nervous system. Multiple meningiomas without neurofibromatosis are not a usual occurrence. Intraventricular meningioma with spinal meningioma is rare and not been reported in the literature. Case Description: We report a case of a 63-year-old male with the left trigonal and spinal meningioma. Both the meningiomas were resected in different settings. The histological examination of tumors revealed to be of varied histology, that is, meningothelial and atypical meningioma, respectively. Conclusion: Although various cases with multiple cranial and spinal meningiomas are described, this is the first case of an intraventricular and spinal meningioma. With varied histology, the case also reaffirms the theory of polyclonal origin of multiple meningiomas.

✓ Infestation of the central nervous system (CNS) by the larval form of Taenia solium can be etiological for one or more of several clinicopathological manifestations. Experience gained from treating 18 patients forms the basis for a classification of this disease and for observations upon therapy. Twenty-three surgical procedures in 15 of the 18 patients provide the foundation for comment on operative treatment in management. Whereas most procedures are palliative, eradication of the CNS disease may be achieved in cases of solitary intraventricular cysts. There has been no operative mortality.

Neurocysticercosis, an infection of the central nervous system with the larval stage of the cestode Taenia solium, is uncommon in developed countries. We report a case of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a haploidentical donor complicated, in the long term, by T. solium infection of the central nervous system and successfully treated with empiric antiparasitic therapy with albendazole plus dexamethasone. Revised diagnostic criteria proposed by Del Brutto et al. were used for the definitive diagnosis of cerebellar neurocysticercosis.
