| dc.description | Neurocysticercosis is a frequent disease, its main location is in the brain parenchyma; however, less than 5% of cases are of spinal location where they produce pseudotumoral or obstructive clinical manifestations. We present the case of a patient admitted due to chronic headache with signs of endrocranial hypertension, without clinical symptoms, and in whom a cysticercotic membrane and cerebrospinal fluid with high glucose consumption (3mg/dL) was obtained during the lumbar puncture study. The finding of a cysticercus of intradural-extramedullary location, during a lumbar puncture is a very rare finding, only described in patients with evident clinical signs. We recommend suspecting it when there is no clinical evidence of spinal cord involvement but there is a suggestion of cerebral cysticercosis and altered cerebrospinal fluid, expanding the study with neuroimaging. | en-US |
| dc.description | La neurocisticercosis es una enfermedad frecuente, su principal ubicación es en el parénquima cerebral; sin embargo, menos del 5% de los casos son de ubicación espinal donde producen cuadros clínicos pseudotumorales u obstructivos. Presentamos el caso de un paciente que ingresa por cefalea crónica con signos de hipertensión endrocraneana, sin clínica medular, y en quien se obtuvo durante el estudio de punción lumbar una membrana cisticercótica y líquido cefalorraquídeo con gran consumo de glucosa (3mg/dL). El hallazgo de un cisticerco de ubicación intradural-extramedular durante una punción lumbar es un hallazgo muy raro, solo descrito en pacientes con clínica evidente. Recomendamos sospecharla cuando no haya evidencia clínica de compromiso medular pero se tenga sugerencia de cisticercosis cerebral y líquido cefalorraquídeo alterado, ampliando el estudio con neuroimágenes. | es-ES |
