An infant with cerebral cysticercosis had marked clinical and radiographic improvement following treatment with praziquantel. Computed tomographic appearance and radioimmunoassay were helpful in establishing the diagnosis. Disappearance or size reduction of all active lesions were documented by computed tomography 6 months after praziquantel treatment. Simultaneous administration of dexamethasone during praziquantel treatment is essential to prevent reactive cerebral edema during treatment.
一名患有脑囊尾蚴病的婴儿在接受吡喹酮治疗后,临床症状和影像学表现有显著改善。计算机断层扫描表现和放射免疫测定有助于确诊。吡喹酮治疗6个月后,计算机断层扫描显示所有活动性病灶消失或缩小。在吡喹酮治疗期间同时给予地塞米松对于预防治疗期间的反应性脑水肿至关重要。
