Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of memory impairment in patients with cereberal cysticercosis and analyze its influence factors. Methods 62 patients with cereberal cysticercosis and S3 normal controls by age, gender, education and occupation using accepted the Clinical Memory Test. Memory score was compared to observe the contrast to patients with cerebral cysticercosis lesions in the left and right groups in different from memory effects. Results There were significant lowering in pointing memory( 12. 29 ±7.41) ,association learning(15.37 ±7.29) ,free picture recall( 11.37 ±7. 35),insignificant figure recognition( 17.72 ±6.27),portrait character association recall(14.28 ± 6.39 ) and memory quotients(71.04 ± 19.48) when that of the normal controls(P<0. 01 ) , pointing memory and free picture recall were the lowest among the five items. There were some significant differences between patients with cerebral cysticercosis in the left and the right of lesion group a-bout different memory contents(P<0.05 ～0.01), and association learning was the lowest in the left lesion group, insignificant figure recognition was the lowest in the right lesion group. Conclusion Cereberal cysticercosis could cause memory impairment. There were some significant differences between the left and the right lesion group about different memory impairment.
