  • Title: Seventy black epileptics. Cysticercosis, computed tomography and electro-encephalography.
    Author: Naidoo DV, Pammenter MD, Moosa A, van Dellen JR, Cosnett JE.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1987 Dec 19; 72(12):837-8. PubMed ID: 3424029.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomography (CT) in a group of 70 black patients with epilepsy showed cerebral cysticercosis in 30%, with signs of activity in 12.9%. The possibility of effective treatment in active cysticercosis makes CT an important investigation of epilepsy in this population. Electro-encephalography is of some practical value in patients in whom CT is negative.
