Although a well-known disease worldwide, cerebral cysticercosis in European countries is a rare event. Due to increased travel to East-Asian and Latin American countries it is possible that the occurrence of brain cysticercosis will become more frequent. These facts should remind us of the possibility of cysticercosis of the nervous system. A case of cerebral and spinal cord cysticercosis is presented, causing symptoms of progressive dementia with ventricular occlusion and hydrocephalus. Differential diagnosis causes a major problem. It is shown that myelography may demonstrate characteristic features of the disease.
尽管脑囊尾蚴病在全球是一种广为人知的疾病，但在欧洲国家却是罕见病例。由于前往东亚和拉丁美洲国家的旅行增多，脑囊尾蚴病的发生可能会更加频繁。这些事实应提醒我们存在神经系统囊尾蚴病的可能性。本文报告一例脑和脊髓囊尾蚴病病例，其导致进行性痴呆伴脑室梗阻和脑积水的症状。鉴别诊断是一个主要问题。结果表明，脊髓造影可能显示该病的特征性表现。
