Disseminated cysticercosis: a case report and review of treatment protocols.
BMJ case reports(2022)
Abstract
Cysticercosis is caused by the larvae of Taenia solium and is a significant health problem. Disseminated cysticercosis is an infrequent manifestation of the same. A woman in her 30s presented to us with a history of seizures, outward protrusion of both eyes and multiple soft-tissue swellings over the face and tongue for 3 years. Imaging studies revealed multiple cystic lesions in the brain parenchyma, extraocular muscles, subcutaneous tissue, muscles of mastication and tongue. A high index of suspicion and a planned therapeutic approach is required in such cases.
