Enlarging single CT lesions can also spontaneously resolve.
Computed tomography in two patients, aged 9 and 14 years, with history of focal seizures, revealed single, small, enhancing CT lesions. These patients were treated with albendazole and anticonvulsants. Follow-up CT scans revealed an increase in the size of the solitary lesions. They were managed conservatively and further follow-up CT scans revealed complete resolution of the lesions. The report suggests that some enlarging CT lesions may also spontaneously resolve. The most likely cause of the enlarging lesions was albendazole therapy.
