Researchers from Department of Neurosurgery Describe Findings in Neuroscience

2012 DEC 28 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Investigators publish new report on Neuroscience. According to news reporting originating in Rabat, Morocco, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Primary spinal epidural hydatid cyst without bony involvement is extremely rare. Authors report the case of a 44-year-old female brought to their attention for a rapidly progressive paraplegia."

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Department of Neurosurgery, "Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extradural multiple cysts with 'bunch of grapes' appearance extended to the paraspinal muscles through neural foramina without bony involvement on computed tomography (CT) scan. Histopathologic examination after a surgical approach confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. The early postoperative period showed a progressive improvement of her neurological deficit."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "The long-term follow-up under discontinued antihelminthic chemotherapy was uneventful."

For more information on this research see: Primary extradural hydatid cyst extended to paraspinal muscles. Journal of Neurosciences In Rural Practice, 2012;3(3):358-60.
