ABSTRACT

La neurocisticercosis es una enfermedad infecciosa parasitaria rara en nuestro medio producida por la Taenia solium. En los últimos años, la incidencia de la neurocisticercosis ha sufrido un repunte por el aumento de inmigrantes procedentes de países endémicos. Los cisticercos presentan una especial predisposición para afectar al sistema nervioso central con la formación de nódulos quísticos que provocan inflamación de las zonas adyacentes pudiendo producir crisis comiciales. Presentamos el caso de una paciente puérpera de 3 días con un episodio de crisis comicial acompañada de fiebre. Se diagnostica por resonancia magnética nuclear cerebral de neurocisticercosis (AU)


Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infectious disease rare in our Midst produced by Taenia solium. In recent years, the incidence of neurocysticercosis has been rebounded by an increase in immigrants from endemic countries. The cysticerci have a special predisposition to affect the central nervous system with the formation of cystic nodules that causes inflammation of the adjacent areas, these could produce comitial crises. We present the case of a puerperal patient of 3 days of evolution who presented an episode of comitial crisis accompanied by fever who was diagnosed by cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of neurocysticercosis (AU)
