[Cerebral cysticercosis. Apropos of a case treated with praziquantel].
The authors report a case of cerebral cysticercosis in a 17 year-old adolescent. Partial seizures and moderate functional signs of intracranial hypertension were the presenting symptoms. Treatment with Praziquantel under corticosteroid therapy was successful with almost complete disappearance of radiologic abnormalities on the computerised tomographic examination performed 7 months after the end of treatment.
