Case 1: Pathology
Light Microscope: Sections showed fragments of degenerating
wall of a cysticercal cyst. Wall shows a small amount of calcification.
Diagnosis: Cysticercosis
![Page 8: Neuroradiology/ neuropatholgy Clinical Conference](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56813291550346895d9927ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Neurocystircercosis Cysticercosis is the most common parasitic
infection in immunocompetent patients: incidence is not increased in patients with AIDS,Cysticercosis is generally acquired by ingesting fruits
or vegetables contaminated with eggs (Taenia solium,.
ingesting larvae (undercooked pork) results in intestinal teniasis.
Most common cause of acquired seizures. Gray-white junction- hematogenous spread (?) Intraventricular lesions (20-50%). Subarachnoid space lesions (racemose type-
cluster of grapes) (less than 10%).
![Page 9: Neuroradiology/ neuropatholgy Clinical Conference](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56813291550346895d9927ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Neurocystircercosis Vesicular stage:
cyst-like lesion w/mural nodule (larva with full bladder & scolex, generally no contrast enhancement).
Colloidal stage: cyst dies & produces inflammatory reaction (incomplete
ring-enhancing lesion w/edema). Occasionally, multiple lesions are in the colloidal stage &
produce an encephalitis-like picture. Granular stage:
dead organism produces classic ring-enhancing lesion. Nodular stage:
final stage in which lesion calcifies.

Case 2: 1st Follow up study
![Page 13: Neuroradiology/ neuropatholgy Clinical Conference](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56813291550346895d9927ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
-Operation
A single burr hole was made. Dura was opened & underlying pia was cauterized. Following this, using stereotaxy, a biopsy needle was advanced. Once the target was achieved, mild aspiration yielded gross purulence. Multiple specimens were obtained.

Case 2: 2nd Follow up study, post op
Patient non-compliant with medications.

Case 2: 3rd Follow up study Improved compliance.

Case 2: 4th Follow up study, further improvement

IRIS (immune reconstitution syndrome) HIV pts initiated on retroviral therapy. Restored immune system now
reacting/over-reacting (?) to intact pathogens and/or residual antigens.
Paradoxical worsening of a known condition, or appearance of a new condition following initiation of therapy.

IRIS
Most commonly involved include CMV, mycobacterium, varicella zoster, herpes, PCP, & cryptococcus .
Clinical presentation involves recurrence of symptoms related to a latent TB infection, or cryptococcal meningitis.

Operation & pathology:
Right frontal sinus mass pedunculated off of the posterior table of frontal sinus, which was noted to be dehiscent. Most consistent with an encephalocele.
Fragments of central-nervous-system tissue, consistent with encephalocele/heterotopia.

Case 4: Pathology Sections show a proliferation of neoplastic
astrocytes. Moderate nuclear atypia & mitotic figures. No
necrosis, histologic findings consistent with anaplastic astrocytoma.
Neoplastic cells diffusely stained for GFAP. Many nuclei of neoplastic cells stained
positive for p53. A Ki-67 immunostain reveals a labeling
index of 12% in area sampled.
