RESUMO

Introdução:

A Neurocisticercose (NCC) é uma infecção no sistema nervoso central que pode ser associada à obesidade quando o cisticerco afeta os centros hipotalâmicos relacionados ao controle da fome e da saciedade.

Objetivo:

Comparar o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) dos pacientesautopsiados com NCC (exceto hipotalâmica) com um grupo sem cisticercose.

Métodos:

Foram revistos 2.629 protocolos de autópsias realizadas no período de 1970 a 2004, avaliando-se as seguintes variáveis índice de massa corporal, diagnóstico e localização da NCC.

Resultados:

A ocorrência de NCC foi de 2,7por cento e a mediana do IMC do grupo com NCC (19,06 kg/m2) foi significativamente menor (p igual 0,001) que a do grupo sem cisticercose (20,76 kg/m2).

Conclusão:

A NCC, por si só, não está relacionada à obesidade, exceto quando o cisticerco apresenta localização hipotalâmica.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an infection of the Central NervousSystem that may be associated with obesity when the cysticercus affectshypothalamic centers associated to the appetite and satiety.

Aim:

to compare the Body Mass Index (BMI) of autopsied patients with NCC (except hypothalamic) with an autopsied group without cysticercosis.

Methods:

2,629 protocols from autopsies from 1970 until 2004 were revised and the following variables evaluated BMI, positive diagnosis, and localization of neurocysticercosis. NCC was found in71 autopsies (2.7%). The median BMI of the group with NCC, which was 19.06kg/m2, was significantly lower (p=0.001) in comparison with the group without cysticercosis with a BMI of 20.76 kg/m2.

Conclusion:

NCC itself is not related to obesity, except when the cysticercus has hypothalamic localization.
