Five patients with cerebral cysticercosis, two within the year preceding the date of this article, were seen at the New York Neurological Institute. The patients presented with mental changes, seizures, and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, and had a history of having immigrated from an area endemic for cysticercosis. They were found to have parenchymal or intraventricular cysticercosis cysts. The interval from immigration to onset of symptoms was as long as 3 years. Plain radiograms of the skull and soft tissues, ventriculograms, and especially the CT scan, as well as the CSF examination, were useful in making the diagnosis. Surgical removal of an intraventricular cyst was curative in two patients and seizures were controlled with anticonvulsants in the other three.
纽约神经学研究所接待了5例脑囊尾蚴病患者，其中2例是在本文撰写日期前一年之内前来就诊的。这些患者出现了精神改变、癫痫发作以及颅内压升高的症状，并且有从囊尾蚴病流行地区移民过来的病史。他们被发现患有实质性或脑室内囊尾蚴囊肿。从移民到症状出现的间隔时间长达3年。头颅和软组织的平片、脑室造影，尤其是CT扫描以及脑脊液检查，对做出诊断很有帮助。手术切除脑室内囊肿对2例患者有治愈效果，另外3例患者通过抗惊厥药物控制了癫痫发作。
