It has been believed for a long time that the Paduan scholar Antonio Vallisneri (1661-1730) described the second historical case of the frontal sinus osteoma in 1733. By historico-medically reexamining this case, we conclude that the brain concretions he described were not a case of frontal sinus osteoma, while they appear to have been pathological outcomes of neurocysticercosis, whose larval stages would only be described by Johann Goeze (1731-1793) later, in 1784. Thus, this case becomes relevant for the history of neuroparasitology.
长期以来,人们一直认为帕多瓦学者安东尼奥·瓦利塞内里(1661-1730 年)在 1733 年描述了第二个额窦骨瘤的历史病例。通过对该病例进行医学史的重新检查,我们得出结论,他所描述的脑结石并不是额窦骨瘤的病例,而似乎是神经囊尾蚴病的病理结果,其幼虫阶段后来才由约翰·戈泽(1731-1793 年)于 1784 年描述。因此,该病例与神经寄生虫学史有关。
