Article Synopsis
- - Neurocysticercosis is typically linked to Taenia solium tapeworms, but a rare case in Switzerland involved Taenia martis, the marten tapeworm.
- - The text discusses the details of the Swiss case and reviews all five documented human infections caused by the marten tapeworm.
- - In unusual cases of neurocysticercosis, it is important to consider the possibility of zoonotic spillover infections from animals.
Article Synopsis
- * It finds that vsACoA shows a higher in-hospital bleeding rate compared to aneurysms in other locations, particularly during endovascular treatment, but does not lead to increased morbidity or mortality at discharge.
- * Overall, while vsACoA has a greater rebleeding risk, the size of the aneurysm (5 to 25 mm) poses a more significant risk factor for neurological deficits than the location of the aneurysm itself.
Objective: Dissection of the carotid artery (CaAD) may result in aneurysm formation. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the time of onset of post-dissection extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) following CaAD, and to analyse independent risk factors for the development of these aneurysms.
Methods: From four European stroke centres, 360 patients with extracranial CaAD were included.
Background: Intrawound vancomycin powder is an emerging strategy to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) in spine surgery. However, there are concerns relating to its safety profile and toxicity. Data on systemic uptake of suprafascially administered vancomycin powder following instrumented spinal fusion is lacking.

Central neurocytoma are rare primary brain tumors of the young and middle-aged adult, typically located in the lateral ventricles. Diagnosis has historically been difficult due to histomorphologic similarities to oligodendroglioma and ependymal tumors and remains a challenge even today. We present two cases of intraventricular central neurocytoma in which careful consideration of the clinical and radiological findings led to reevaluation of the preliminary histological interpretation, highlighting the importance of a meticulous differential diagnosis.
