Cisticerco calcificado en el parénquima cerebral y progresión de atrofia de hipocampos

Resumen

A seizure-free 74-year-old woman had a single cal- cified cysticercus (Figure 1), and normal hippocampi (Figure 2, upper panel). Neuroimaging exams were practiced for a study aimed to assess the association between neurocysticercosis and hippocampal atrophy (HA). Seven years later, a control MRI showed bilateral HA (Figure 2, lower panel).
