The computed tomographic spectrum of cerebral cysticercosis.
The main findings observed in computed tomography (CT) of the brain of 116 patients with cerebral cysticercosis are reviewed. Calcifications, cysts, nodules, hydrocephalus and inflammatory reactions are better detected by CT than through the use of any of the conventional neuroradiologic procedures, and surgical cases are more properly selected.
