Cerebral cysticercosis.
Five patients with cerebral cysticercosis, two within the year preceding the date of this article, were seen at the New York Neurological Institute. The patients presented with mental changes, seizures, and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, and had a history of having immigrated from an area endemic for cysticercosis. They were found to have parenchymal or intraventricular cysticercosis cysts. The interval from immigration to onset of symptoms was as long as 3 years. Plain radiograms of the skull and soft tissues, ventriculograms, and especially the CT scan, as well as the CSF examination, were useful in making the diagnosis. Surgical removal of an intraventricular cyst was curative in two patients and seizures were controlled with anticonvulsants in the other three.
