뇌간에 발생한 단발성 뇌낭미충증 - 증례보고 -

초록

Isolated brainstem invlovement of neurocysticercosis is rare. We present the clinical and radiological features of a patient with a solitary cysticercus granuloma in the brainstem confirmed by MRI and CSF ELISA test. Good response was obtained from conservative treatment, using praziquantel. We believe that patients from regions where cysticercosis is endemic, who have no systemic disease, who present with nonprogressive symptoms and signs of brainstem involvement, and display a solitary ring-enhancing mass in the brainstem measuring less than 20mm on neuroimaging may be managed conservatively.
