“…[9] or due to retrograde flow of cysticercus larvae through valveless epidural venous plexus, which may conduct blood in any direction under the influence of intraabdominal and intrathoracic pressure. [10] Subarachnoid spinal NCC occurs in 80% of cases, and 20% are intramedullary lesions. It can result in recurrence and severe neurologic morbidity if not treated in an appropriate manner.…”

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common parasitic infection of the central nervous system but isolated primary spinal NCC is of very rare occurrence. The authors report a case of 44-year-old male, a postoperative case of multiple spinal NCC lesion excision 2 years ago, who presented with cauda equina syndrome and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion mimicking an arachnoid cyst in the D1-9 region of the spinal cord. On intraoperative surgical exposure multiple cysts were found and excised. The suspicion of recurrence of NCC was confirmed by histopathology. Postoperatively there was significant improvement in neurological symptoms of the patient. Recurrence of primary spinal NCC should be considered in differential diagnosis of an arachnoid cyst if there is a definitive past history.

“…Outros relatos sobre cisticercose espinhal 9,14,19,25,27 referem-se a manifestações de comprometimento radicular, tendo a dor como principal sintoma, embora este possa também ser o quadro inicial da PRN 12 . Mas, em nenhum desses relatos, havia descrição de exame neurológico sugestivo de lesão de sistema nervoso periférico, mesmo no estudo de Colli e col. 9 , que descreve 10 doentes com cisticercose espinhal.…”

RESUMO -Relata-se o caso de doente com forma hidrocefálica e meningoencefalítica de neurocisticercose que, na primeira semana de tratamento com albendazol, desenvolveu simultaneamente polirradiculoneurite e síndrome de hipertensão intracraniana. São relacionados vários agentes etiológicos encontrados na literatura associados à polirradiculoneurite. Comenta-se sobre a possível fisiopatogenia desta entidade na vigência de cisticercose. Faz-se menção a outro caso que apresentou polirradiculoneurite, do tipo síndrome de Guillain-¬ Barré, como única manifestação de provável cisticercose de sistema nervoso. No caso apresentado, além da própria neurocisticercose, o stress cirúrgico e aquele relativo à gravidade do quadro clínico, um possível efeito colateral do albendazol -ou, até mesmo, uma simples coincidência -podem ser considerados como fatores relacionados à presença de polirradiculoneurite nesse doente.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: cisticercose, neurocisticercose, polirradiculoneurite, albendazol. Polyradiculoneuropathy and neurocysticercosis: case reportABSTRACT -Report of a patient with the hydrocephalic and meningoencephalitic form of neurocysticercosis who simultaneously developed polyradiculoneuropathy and intracranial hypertension syndrome during the first week of treatment with albendazole. Etiologic agents associated with polyradiculoneuropathy related in the literature are cited. Some comments about the possible physiopathogeny of this entity in the presence of cysticercosis are also done. It is mentioned another case who presented polyradiculoneuropathy as the only manifestation of a probable cysticercosis of the nervous system. In this presented case, including the neurocysticercosis and even a mere coincidence of facts, some factors can have a relationship with the appearance of polyradiculoneuropathy as the surgical stress, the stress due to the severity of the clinical picture and the possible side effect of albendazole.
