RADIOLOGICAL-CLINICAL ASPECTS CYSTICERCOSIS

Cysticercosis (cysticercosis) represents a disease caused by cellulose cysticercus (Cysticercus cellulosae), a larva of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium), when a man is a transient host. The aim of the study is to present the radiological-clinical aspects of cysticercosis (cysticercosis). The study illustrates the radiological findings and pictures of cysticercosis in one female patient, brought as a refugee to Niš by the hurricane of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, via a concentration camp and with the mediation of UNPROFOR. The authors conclude that the radiographic image of cysticercosis is typical, that radiological examination methods are relevant in the diagnosis of cysticercosis, while the diagnosis with certainty can be established on the basis of clinical picture, radiological images, serological results and epidemiological data.
