Description

Coenurosis in a calf was pathologically and parasitologically studied. The calf showed prostration and a sign as "gid". Gross lesions in the brain included internal hydrocephalus harboring a larval cyst, with "craniotabes" or perforated frontal skull. There were eosinophilic abscesses surrounding the cyst, cellular infiltration in the wall of the left lateral ventricle and spongiform encephalopathy of the cerebral white matter and brain stem. The morphology of the larval cyst was similar to that of Taenia (Multiceps) multiceps: the scolice had four suckers and a rostellum with a double crown hooks.
