  • Title: Early CT reevaluation after empiric praziquantel therapy in neurocysticercosis.
    Author: Rawlings D, Ferriero DM, Messing RO.
    Journal: Neurology; 1989 May; 39(5):739-41. PubMed ID: 2710366.
    Abstract:
    Neurocysticercosis can be difficult to diagnose in patients with negative serologic studies and single parenchymal cysts. To avoid surgical intervention, we empirically administered praziquantel to 2 children with isolated cysts and observed complete resolution of the lesions within 1 month after treatment. Early CT reevaluation following empiric praziquantel therapy can be an effective tool in the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis in patients with single parenchymal lesions.
