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)

ABSTRACT

Caso: mujer de 50 años de edad, diagnosticada y tratada de un carcinoma epitelial de ovario en 1996. Se realizó cirugía citorreductora óptima y quimioterapia adyuvante. Nueve años más tarde, desarrolló una lesión metastásica cerebral tratada con cirugía y radioterapia holocraneal. Cuatro años después del tratamiento sigue sin evidencia de enfermedad. Conclusión: estas pacientes tienen un pronóstico pobre, con estudios que reportan una supervivencia media de 12 meses. Sin embargo, nuestra paciente se mantiene libre de la enfermedad, por lo que en pacientes con metástasis única, la cirugia y la radioterapia son la mejor opción de tratamiento (AU)


Case: 50-year-old woman diagnosed and treated for primary ovarian cancer in 1996. She underwent optimal cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Nine years later, she developed brain metastatic lesion, and was treated with both surgery and whole-brain radiotherapy. She is currently 4 years post-treatment of her brain metastases without evidence of disease-free. Conclusion: These patients have a poor prognosis, with studies reporting a mean survival of 12 months. However, the patient in this report remains disease-free since her treatment for metastatic disease. Aggressive surgical and radiation treatment for patients with isolated central nervous system metastases can be a reasonable option in selected patients (AU)
