  • Title: [Cerebral cysticercosis. 10 cases].
    Author: Fandiño J, Rodríguez M, Pastor A, Viladrich A, Botana C, Gómez-Bueno J.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1989; 145(5):389-92. PubMed ID: 2740687.
    Abstract:
    Ten patients with cerebral cysticercosis seen between 1983 and 1986 were treated with praziquantel and in some cases by a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and/or surgical excision of cysts. Clinical and biological data were of no prognostic value. CT only was useful in orientating therapy and establishing the prognosis. A favorable course was obtained in 7 parenchymatous and meningeal forms, the fatal cases being of the mixed type. Praziquantel was inactive against intraventricular cysts.
