1. To provide an overview of pathophysiology of spinal neurocysticercosis
2. To use imaging modalities to identify various stages of disease progression and to guide management
-Epidemiology
-Isolated spinal NCC vs. spinal with intracranial NCC
-Anatomic locations
-Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, lumbosacral
-vertebral, extradural, intradural, and intramedullary regions
-Migration routes:
-Hemopoietic venous route
-Ventriculoependymal route
-Subarachnoid route
-Direct extension from intestinal mucosa to indradural space
-Differential diagnosis
-Symptomotology
-Diagnosis
-MRI
-CSF ELISA
-Biopsy
• Complications
• Treatment:
-Curative vs. Preventative of re-infestation/dissemination
-Treatment of neurologic complications
