The computed tomographic appearance of three cases of cerebral toxoplasmosis is described. Two of the patients were children with Hodgkin disease and the third was an adult with systemic lupus erythematosus. All patients were severely immunosuppressed. Computed tomography showed single or multiple hypodense rounded areas with peripheral annular contrast enhancement, suggesting pyogenic cerebral abscesses. Pathologic correlation is presented. The importance of diagnosis and early treatment is emphasized.
本文描述了三例脑弓形虫病的计算机断层扫描表现。其中两名患者是患有霍奇金病的儿童,第三名患者是患有系统性红斑狼疮的成年人。所有患者均处于严重免疫抑制状态。计算机断层扫描显示单个或多个低密度圆形区域,周边有环形对比增强,提示为化脓性脑脓肿。文中还给出了病理对照。强调了诊断和早期治疗的重要性。
