Cysticercosis refers to a disease caused by the larvae of parasitizing various tissues and organs of the human body. It is reported that cysticercosis is most commonly caused by the central nervous system, and retroperitoneal fibrosis is rare. We report a case of retroperitoneal fibrosis caused by cysticercosis and a urinary tract obstruction caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis, which was successfully relieved by transurethral stenting. The complex pathophysiological mechanism of cysticercosis-induced retroperitoneal fibrosis requires further study. In the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, it is very important to consider the patient's epidemiological history and the presence of parasite infection.
囊尾蚴病是指由寄生虫幼虫寄生于人体各种组织和器官所引起的疾病。据报道,囊尾蚴病最常见于中枢神经系统,而腹膜后纤维化较为罕见。我们报告一例由囊尾蚴病引起的腹膜后纤维化及由腹膜后纤维化导致的尿路梗阻病例,该病例经尿道支架置入术成功缓解。囊尾蚴病所致腹膜后纤维化复杂的病理生理机制有待进一步研究。在该疾病的诊断和治疗中,考虑患者的流行病学史及寄生虫感染情况非常重要。
