Resumo
The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of cysticercosis, to classify the developmental
phases of cysticerci found in human brains and hearts, and differentiate these according to the macro and
microscopic aspects of the general pathological processes, and to compare the process found in the brains
and hearts. Protocols from autopsies performed at the Hospital of the School of Medicine of the Triângulo
Mineiro, Uberaba, MG, Brazil, in the period from 1970 to 2000 were reviewed. The prevalence of cysticercosis
was verified in 71 cases, of which 53 (74.6%) were encephalic cysticercosis and 18 (25.3%) cardiac cysticercosis.
Nineteen cysticerci were analyzed, from 9 brains and 10 hearts. The cysticerci were classified according to
their developmental stage: vesicular, colloidal vesicular, granular nodular and calcified nodular, with similarities
between the macroscopic and microscopic diagnoses. Among the pathological processes found beta-fibrilosis
and endocardial fibroelastosis are underscored. In addition, it was demonstrated that this classification may be
applied both to encephalic and cardiac cysticercosis.
