Higher Concentration of Taenia Antigens in the CSF is Related to Slight Ventricle Enlargement and Periventricular Neuronal Decrease in Young Rats
Arq. bras. neurocir; 40 (2), 2021
Purpose Experimental models might help understand the pathophysiology of
neurocysticercosis-associated hydrocephalus. The present study aimed to compare
the extent of hydrocephalus and tissue damage in rats with subarachnoid inoculation
of different concentrations of Taenia crassiceps cyst proteins.
