A patient affected by racemous neurocysticercosis, occurring 5 years after the onset of chronic meningitis and followed by sequential MRI studies, is described. After ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, he was successfully treated with Praziquantel and Albendazole. This case may contribute to understand the natural history of the disease and stress the efficacy of medical versus surgical treatment of this lifethreatening disease.
本文描述了一名患有葡萄状神经囊尾蚴病的患者，该病在慢性脑膜炎发病5年后出现，并进行了系列磁共振成像（MRI）研究。在进行脑室-腹腔分流术后，他成功接受了吡喹酮和阿苯达唑治疗。该病例可能有助于了解该病的自然病程，并强调针对这种危及生命疾病的药物治疗与手术治疗的疗效。
