An 80-year-old male with paresis of the right upper extremity underwent surgery for a suspected metastatic brain tumor. A live Sparganum mansoni worm was removed from the parietal lobe through a left parietal craniotomy. Retrospective evaluation of magnetic resonance (MR) images revealed ipsilateral ventricular dilatation, despite the presence of a mass lesion resembling a metastatic brain tumor. This interesting MR imaging finding is an important point for differentiating between a brain tumor and cerebral sparganosis.
一名80岁右上肢麻痹男性因疑似转移性脑肿瘤接受手术。通过左侧顶骨开颅术从顶叶取出一条活的曼氏裂头绦虫。磁共振(MR)图像的回顾性评估显示,尽管存在类似转移性脑肿瘤的肿块病变,但同侧脑室扩张。这一有趣的MR成像发现是区分脑肿瘤和脑裂头蚴病的重要依据。
