Abstract:
Cerebral paragonimiasis, occurring as an extrapulmonary infestation, is one of the important intracranial lesions in Korea. In this paper we report a case of cerebral paragonimiasis which showed very similar C-T findings to pyogenic brain abscess and was verified by pathologic research. Though we don't have much experiences in the diagnosis of the cereal paragonimiasis with C-T Scan, we found out some differences between pyogenic abscess and that due to cerebral paragonimiasis in several aspects.
