[Clinical picture of cerebral cysticercosis]. 1978

E L Bel'man, and V R Kalkun

The author studied 82 patients with brain cystocercosis (male--48 and females 34 cases). Cystocercosis was most frequently encountered in individuals from 21--50 years of age. The rural population constituted 74% while the urban--26%. The report contains data on the characteristic symptoms of brain cystocercosis and its differential diagnostical signs with brain tumors. Besides such states as epileptical, hypertensive, occlusional, psychopathological annd meningoencephalitic the authors distinguish the meningeal form which proceeds as a chronic remittent serous meningits.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
