Even though cysticercosis was once thought to have been eradicated in the United States, it is currently a growing public health problem in the United States, and immigrants from endemic areas are at the highest risk of acquiring this disease. In Iran, there was no report from this worrisome infection. The clinical presentation of neurocysticercosis is variable and vague. In this article, we will explain a case of neurocysticercosis encountered in the Shohada Hospital pathology department, and then we will review neurologic and radiologic symptoms, laboratory and pathologic findings, as well as medication for treatment, briefly.展开更多

[Method] The ultrastructure changes of scolex located in cyst and evaginated from cyst after cultivation were comparatively observed by scanning electron microscope. [Result] When the scolex was in the relative rest state, observed from the top, the rostel um with the tegument muscular column that connected to tooth-hook looked like the umbrel a and covered on the front end of the scolex. Viewed from the side of the scolex, the tooth-hook on the rostel um looked like the antler branch and had only one row. Four suckers looked like cavities, and were located in the back of the rostel um and distributed around the scolex in the equidistance. When the scolex was in the motion states, the tegument muscular column on the rostel um contracted, the antler-like tooth-hook extended to periphery, and the sucker also made the ring-like and longitudinal-like contraction. [Conclusion] Ultrastructure of the scolex of C. pisiformis changed apparently during relative rest and motion states. Those changes help scolex to invade the host tissue.展开更多
