Abstract

Alveolar echinococcosis is a chronic and serious, even lethal, parasitic infection caused by the helminth Echinococcus multilocularis. The involvement of Central Nervous System is reported to be 1-3% in literature. Brain involvement is considered a sign of the terminal phase of alveolar echinococcosis. We here in reported a 67-year-old female who had liver alveolar hydatid disease with brain and spinal intradural metastases.

Özet

Alveolar ekinokokozis ölümcül olabilen kronik ve ciddi bir hastalıktır. Ekinokokus multilokülaris helmiti nedeniyle oluşan parazitik bir enfeksiyondur. Santal sinir sistemi tutulumu literatürde %1-3 olarak raporlanmıştır. Beyin tutulumu alveolar ekinokokozisin terminal fazının bir bulgusu olarak düşünülür. Bu makalede biz beyin ve spinal intradural metastazı olan karaciğer alveolar hidatid hastalığı olan 67 yaşında bir kadın hastayı sunduk.
