| Abstract;In Japan neurocysticercosis is a rare disease. We report a case of neurocysticercosis with a review of the literature. A 29-year-old man presented focal seizure on the left side. Physical and neurological findings on admission were unremarkable. CT and MRI showed a mass with ring-like enhancement and perifocal edema in the right frontal lobe, as well as multiple small masses with calcification. The main mass measuring 8mm in diameter, was suspected as the eliptogenic focus, and was totally removed yia the transcortical approach. Postsurgically seizures did not recur, and histological examination of the mass confirmed a cys ticercus. A therapeutic course of albendazole and praziquantel administered postsurgically was effective for the multiple intraparenchymal masses. (author abst.) |
