[Significance of preoperative CT diagnosis of Echinococcus cysts of the brain].
The preoperative diagnosis of hydatid disease of the brain is decisive for the outcome, i.e. the cyst must be removed unruptured. Eleven patients had typical CT findings of hydatid disease which was confirmed by operation. The CT findings are usually highly characteristic: The CT demonstrates a cystic spherical lesion, with sharply defined cyst walls. The CT values of the cyst contents are similar to that of CSF. There is usually no perifocal oedema.
