Carotid occlusion in cysticercosis

Georges F. McCormick, MD, Steven Giannotta, MD, Chi-shing Zee, MD and Mark Fisher, MD

Departments of Neurology (Drs. McCormick and Fisher), Neurosurgery (Dr. Giannotta), and Neuroradiology (Dr. Zee), LAC/USC Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.

A man without orthostatic hypotension had transient ischemic attacks that were initiated by upright posture. CT showed a cystic mass in the interhemispheric fissure and basilar cisterns. Cerebral angiography demonstrated supraclinoid occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. At frontal craniotomy, cysticercosis cysts were found adherent to a pulseless right internal carotid artery. This is the first antemortem documentation of a large artery occlusion directly related to Cysticercosis racemosus.

Accepted for publication December 5, 1982.
