ABSTRACT
Objective:
To assess proportion and predictors of lesion calcification in children aged 2-12 years with neurocysticercosis at six months follow up.Method:
Children aged between 2 and 12 years with Neurocysticercosis diagnosed on MRI brain were initially included and followed up for 6 months. Repeat CECT brain at 6 months was done to find if the lesion persisted/calcified/ resolved.Results:
16 out of 30 patients (53.3%) had calcification at six months follow up. Perilesional edema at the initial stage of the presentation was significantly associated with calcification at 6 months (P=0.042).Conclusion:
Perilesional edema at the time of presentation was significantly associated with calcification in children with neurocysticercosis, six months after diagnosis.
