Explain of CNS Pathology

52.Cerebrum, cysticercus cyst, microscopic

Here is a cysticercus cyst of the brain. Cysticercosis is caused by ingestion of poorly cooked pork containing the eggs of the tapeworm Taenia solium. Man is an intermediate host in which the larval worms migrate to a variety of tissues, including brain, and encyst. Such cysts are a cause for seizures.
