title: [CT follow-up of neurocysticercosis treated with praziquantel].
abstract: Praziquantel therapy has produced a much better prognosis in neurocysticercosis since 1980. The computed tomographic findings and follow-up study in 4 patients with neurocysticercosis before and after praziquantel therapy are described. The special difficulties of differential diagnosis and further diagnostic procedures are discussed in cases in which calcifications are absent and only solitary foci can be found.
