Solitary cysticercus granuloma (SCG) is the most common form of neurocysticercosis in India and usually presents with seizures. Pure motor monoparesis (PMM) due to cerebral cysticercus lesions has been rarely reported and it has not been seen with SCG. We describe a young girl with SCG who presented with PMM without any other neurological manifestations. The lesion was located in the Penfield homunculus area of the opposite leg. The patient was treated with steroids and antihelminthic drugs. She responded well to the treatment.
孤立性囊尾蚴肉芽肿(SCG)是印度神经囊尾蚴病最常见的形式,通常表现为癫痫发作。由脑囊尾蚴病变引起的纯运动性单瘫(PMM)鲜有报道,且在SCG中未见。我们描述了一名患有SCG的年轻女孩,她表现为PMM,无任何其他神经学表现。病变位于对侧腿部的彭菲尔德运动小人区。患者接受了类固醇和抗蠕虫药物治疗。她对治疗反应良好。
