[Computed tomography in the diagnosis of cerebral cysticercosis]. / Computertomographie in der Diagnostik zerebraler Zystizerkose.

Cerebral cysticercosis was diagnosed in 16 patients by CT, both before and after contrast injection. In six patients the findings were confirmed at operation and histologically. In ten patients, the diagnosis was supported by typical findings on conventional radiographs of the thighs, calves and skull. The CT findings permitted classification of the patients into three types of disease.
