|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Cerebral paragonimiasis has been an important intracranial parasitic disease in Korea. The authors experienced a case of chronic cerebral paragonimiasis located at uncus confirmed by operation. The patient had chief complaint of headache. Brain
computed
tomography showed nonspecific calcification at uncus and dilatation of ventricles. Brain magnetic resonance imaging(MR) showed small hypointense mass at all images. Micro-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) test for Paragonimus specific IgG
was
positive. The mass was completely removed by transsylvian transcortical approach. Radiologic findings of chronic cerebral paragonimiasis and surgical approach to uncus are discussed.
