“…Strict inclusion criteria were used in the literature review, those did not report su cient information to categorize them as aneurysmal or non-aneurysmal would be excluded. The literatures indicated that the non-aneurysmal SAH in these ve cases was caused by cerebral cysticercosis [12][13][14][15]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or cerebral angiograms did not show any evidence of aneurysms or vascular malformations.…”

“…All cases of SAH were con rmed by CT, the misdiagnosis experience of our case gave us a re ection on whether there were misdiagnoses of SAH in the above ve cases. Then, we turned our attention to CSF analysis, CSF examination is a reliable auxiliary method for the diagnosis of SAH, especially for suspected SAH, but only a case showed the number of red blood cells in the CSF increased [14], information of other cases about red blood cells was not available, Therefore, we believe that the four cases of SAH were suspicious [12,13,15] and more evidence is needed to further con rm.…”

BackgroundDense exudate during the calcification of cerebral cysticercosis in basal subarachnoid space was easy to be misdiagnosed as SAH, clinical evaluation and MRI can help differentiate SAH from pseudo-SAH.Case presentationA case of ventricular expansion accompanied by high-density shadows in cisterna circinata cerebri was taken to the hospital for treatment due to sudden faint. This patient was diagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage according to computed tomography (CT) in another hospital. We believe that the high density in cisterna circinata cerebri was misdiagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) one year ago. The main etiology of SAH is aneurysm, non-aneurysmal SAH associated with cerebral cysticercosis is extremely rare. Only 5 patients have been reported.ConclusionThis case indicated that although the specificity of CT for SAH is very high, the physicians should be aware of rare false positive findings, called pseudo-SAH.

“…Inflammation and chronic arachnoiditis affecting the artery wall may lead to occlusive endarteritis, causing ischemic strokes, or weakening of the vessel wall and the formation of aneurysms and bleeding. 24 In a study by Barinagarrementeria and Cantú, patients with SNCC underwent DSA that showed radiological signs of arteritis in 58% of cases, which more frequently involved the MCAs and posterior cerebral arteries. 2…”

Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis and an intracranial infectious aneurysm: case report

Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) represent 2%–6% of all intracranial aneurysms and, classically, have been associated with bacterial or fungal agents. The authors report the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with a typical history of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed an aneurysmal dilatation on the frontal M2 segment of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). The patient was treated surgically, and multiple cysts were found in the left carotid and sylvian cisterns, associated with a dense inflammatory exudate that involved the MCA. The cysts were removed, and a fusiform aneurysmal dilatation was identified. The lesion was not amenable to direct clipping, so the authors wrapped it. Histopathological analysis of the removed cysts revealed the typical pattern of subarachnoid neurocysticercosis. The patient received cysticidal therapy with albendazole and corticosteroids, and she recovered uneventfully. Follow-up DSA performed 6 months after surgery showed complete resolution of the aneurysm. The authors performed a review of the literature and believe that there is sufficient evidence to affirm that the subarachnoid form of neurocysticercosis may lead to the development of an IIA and that Taenia solium should be listed among the possible etiological agents of IIAs, along with bacterial and fungal agents.

Background: Muscle Channel Technique (MCT) is a proprietary acupuncture technique that is a useful tool for pain management and injury healing. Objective: To describe the application of MCT in a patient with peripheral sensory neuropathy. Design, Setting, and Patient: A 49-year-old man with peripheral sensory neuropathy secondary to hepatitis C and HIV. He rated his pain as 7-8 on an 11-point scale.Intervention: Bilaterally-placed Access Point needles were threaded subcutaneously toward the foot. Bilaterally-placed Anchor Point needles were needled perpendicularly to the skin to a depth of 1 cm. De Qi was obtained prior to electrical stimulation for a total of 15 minutes between same meridian points (including points on the SP, LR, GB, and BL meridians). Main Outcome Measure: Pain as measured on an 11-point comparative scale. Results: The patient's pain decreased to a score of 2 on the comparative pain scale. Conclusions: MCT was helpful in reducing pain and paresthesia symptoms of peripheral sensory neuropathy in this patient with hepatitis C and HIV. Clinical trials are needed to determine the appropriate interval of treatment for maximal therapeutic gain, and longer-term studies should determine the overall length of benefit expected from MCT.
