Ventriculo-auriculostomia nos bloqueios ao trânsito do líquido cefalorraqueano na cisticercose encefálica

Abstract: Na neurocisticercose a hipertensão intracraniana pode ser determinada por bloqueios ao trânsito do líquido cefalorraqueano (LCR) ou reação inflamatória e edema cerebrais. O tratamento medicamentoso da cisticercose é precário, pois é duvidosa a ação de drogas com as quais se pretende destruir os parasitas.Por Em todos os casos os sintomas de hipertensão intracraniana, evoluindo em surtos, dominavam o quadro. Em 14 dos 16 doentes, um ou mais exames do LCR confirmaram o diagnóstico de neurocisticercose, mostrando… Show more

“…Based on ventriculographic findings, we have sought to identify the site and type of obstruction 18 -that is, in patients with obstruction caused by free cysts who can benefit from cyst removal, 5,17,31,38,40,50,56 or in patients with obstruction caused by an inflammatory process in whom VP shunt surgery is considered the best treatment. 3,16,33,35,38 Generally CT scanning does not allow this differentiation because it does not reveal free intraventricular cysts, 19 which are only be suspected based on the morphological changes of the ventricles (rounding of the fourth or third ventricles or of portions of the lateral ventricles). Computerized tomography cisternography demonstrates cysts in the cisterns; additionally, when there is no obstruction of the ventricular system, it identifies intraventricular cysts (Figs.…”
