summary

When it comes to parasites, people will think that they grow in the stomach. However, sometimes parasites grow in the brain. When parasites grow into the brain, people will have intracranial hypertension symptoms such as headache, seizures, mental symptoms and mental disorders, as well as limb paralysis and aphasia caused by inflammatory changes or occlusion of cerebral vessels, and fever in the acute stage after infection. What are the symptoms of parasites? Let me talk about them.

What are the symptoms of parasites

First: brain parenchyma type: the clinical symptoms are related to the location of the cyst. Cortical cysts cause generalized and partial seizures. Seizure is the only symptom in 30% - 40% of patients. Hemiplegia, sensory loss, hemiblindness and aphasia may also occur; Dementia and mental symptoms can occur in frontal lobe or temporal lobe. The capsule of cerebellum causes ataxia, and the damage of blood vessels can lead to stroke.

Second: Arachnoid type: rupture or death of meningeal capsule can cause headache, communicating hydrocephalus and virtual meningitis; The cysts in basal cistern can cause obstructive hydrocephalus; Arachnoiditis and subarachnoid space obstruction may occur in patients with spinal arachnoid involvement. All of the above clinical manifestations were headache, vomiting and meningeal irritation.

Third: ventricular type: cyst parasitic in the ventricle, in the third and fourth ventricle can block cerebrospinal fluid circulation, leading to obstructive hydrocephalus. The cyst can move in the ventricle cavity and block suddenly in the middle foramen of the fourth ventricle, resulting in sudden increase of cerebral pressure, dizziness, vomiting, disturbance of consciousness and fall attack, or a few patients may die suddenly without any prodromal symptoms. Subarachnoid adhesion often occurs in this type of patients.
