Neurocysticercosis is a condition rarely reported in Japan, and therefore, the specific route of infestation in our set up has not been conclusively elucidated. Preoperative diagnosis remains difficult to make with certainty due to the slowly evolving nature of the disease and the fact that there are no typical characteristic clinical findings particularly associated with the disease. The hematological, serological, serum biochemistry, stool, and radiological tests were nonspecific for neurocysticercosis. The characteristic neuro-imaging findings were demonstrated in this case, and histopathology confirmed parenchymal infestation.
神经囊尾蚴病在日本鲜有报道，因此，在我们的研究中，感染的具体途径尚未得到确切阐明。由于该疾病进展缓慢，且没有特别典型的特征性临床表现，术前确诊仍然困难。血液学、血清学、血清生化、粪便及影像学检查对神经囊尾蚴病均无特异性。本病例显示出特征性的神经影像学表现，组织病理学证实为实质感染。
