CT scanning was performed on 25 cases of cerebral schistosomiasis. The images of the granuloma caused by schistosome eggs showed a high density mass shadow while the edema of the white matter showed a low density shadow. Combining CT scanning, with case history, clinical signs and immunologic assay
OBJECTIVE
To describe the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of cerebral schistosomiasis.
METHODS
Twenty-five patients whose diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) schistosomiasis had been pathologically (n = 8) and clinically (n = 17) confirmed were randomly selected. MRI
Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is one of the most important complications in portal hypertension secondary to schistosomiasis. Esophageal varices and gastric mucosal lesions are additional sources of bleeding. We studied the histologic and ultrastructural features of gastric mucosa in rabbits
Most schistosomiasis japonica cerebral granulomas reported in the literature have been single and located in the cerebellum, and multiple lesions located in the cerebral hemisphere are uncommon and often misdiagnosed as metastases or gliomas. We describe two rare cases of multiple schistosomiasis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in a patient with hepatic schistosomiasis mansoni. On T1-weighted images periportal zones appeared isointense to the surrounding liver, but strongly enhanced after injection of Gd-DTPA. This finding equals periportal enhancement in postcontrast CT
During the summer of 1980, acute Manson's Schistosomiasis occurred in 28 pediatric patients, swimming in two ponds with no watershed connections between them, in the rural area of Juncos and Cidra, Puerto Rico. Clinical and immunological events were studied and Oxamniquine (Vansil, Pfizer) was
A 28-year-old Marine Corps officer developed Katayama fever with central nervous system (CNS) manifestations 6 weeks after swimming on Leyte Island in the Philippines. Symptoms consisted of fever, nausea and vomiting, focal visual field deficits and mild confusion. CAT-scan of the patient's head
Schistosomiasis mansoni, a potentially severe disease that victimizes an appreciable number of US citizens in this hemisphere, shows cutaneous changes corresponding to various stages in the life cycle of the causative parasite within its definitive host. A transient pruritus or dermatitis, probably
OBJECTIVE
To establish an experimental model of acute cerebral schistosomiasis japonica and explore the MRI manifestations of acute cerebral schistosomiasis.
METHODS
Rabbits were divided into 3 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. The rabbits in the experimental group were directly injected with
A 26-year-old Brazilian man was admitted to The Toronto Hospital with a headache and visual scintillation. His last travel to Brazil was five years previously. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the head showed an occipital mass with surrounding vasogenic edema. Occipital brain biopsy revealed
Schistosomiasis is the second most common parasitic infection worldwide. North America is a nonendemic area. However, there are occasional case reports among travelers and immigrants from endemic regions. We describe a case of a 55-year-old Canadian woman who presented with first episode of seizure.
Neurological complications arising from schistosomiasis are uncommon, and reports of Manson's schistosomiasis presenting as an intracerebral mass lesion are particularly rare. The authors describe the case of a 26-year-old man with a 3-month history of headaches and visual abnormalities. He had
Background Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was introduced into clinical use some years ago. However, its use in the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis has not been reported. Purpose To investigate the ability of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of DWI in the diagnosis of cerebral
Forty-three subjects with pure hepatic schistosomiasis having ultrasonographic assessment of periportal fibrosis were grouped according to the thickness of their portal tracts: grade I = 3-5 mm, grade II = greater than 5-7 mm, and grade III = greater than 7 mm. A history of hematemesis, blood
In our study, in a 52-year-old man, specific and nonspecific findings of Schistosoma infestation were examined using ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. On computed tomography, capsular and septal calcifications and contrast enhancement of the liver capsule were
