Clinical Analysis of Cerebral Cysticercosis

Cerebral cysticercosis is unfortunately a not uncommon disease in Korea, which was a hardly manageable parasitic infestation on the central nervous system. After the introduction of the brain C-T scan, diagnosis and treatment of cerebral cysticercosis were improved markedly. The author analyzed 94 cases of cerebral cysticercosis who had been admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurology, Yonsei University Medical School from July 1972 to June 1983. Of the 94 patients, 52 operations were performed in 47 patients. The analysis and evaluation were made with particular emphasis on brain C-T scan finding.
