Abstract
|
|
|
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common central nervous system parasite infection, frequently produces seizure, headache, or hydrocephalus as clinical manifestations. Cerebral vasculitis is an infrequent complication of the clinical phenotype of NCC. Moreover, NCC involving basal cerebral arteries, including distal internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery, has rarely been reported. Therefore, we present a case of NCC with moyamoya-like basal cerebral arterial
steno-occlusive disease with an emphasis on the differential diagnosis.
