Abstract:
Cerebral paragonimiasis ad cerebral cysticercosis are two notorious parasitic infestations of the brain in Korea, of which diagnoses were not clarified yet clinically. The authors experienced 25 such parasitic brain diseases with their characteristic CT findings, and it was assumed that computed cosmography(CT scan) is the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of these parasitic brain diseases.
