Subcutaneous and cerebral cysticercosis, the latter visualized in computer tomography, occurred in a 38 year-old Filipina who had multiple asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules and headache. Treatment with praziquantel was given at 35 mg/day for 10 days, dexamethasone and carbamazepine were also given to reduce side effects. Three months after praziquantel therapy most of the subcutaneous nodules, the headache and the intracranial lesion disappeared and at 9 months 23 of the original 26 subcutaneous nodules had disappeared. Computer tomography is a valuable adjunct to the diagnosis and follow up of cerebral cysticercosis and praziquantel was found to be very effective in the treatment of the parasitoses.
一名38岁的菲律宾女性患有皮下和脑囊尾蚴病，后者通过计算机断层扫描可见，她有多个无症状的皮下结节并伴有头痛。给予吡喹酮治疗，剂量为35毫克/天，持续10天，同时给予地塞米松和卡马西平以减轻副作用。吡喹酮治疗三个月后，大多数皮下结节、头痛和颅内病变消失，九个月时，原来26个皮下结节中的23个已经消失。计算机断层扫描是脑囊尾蚴病诊断和随访的重要辅助手段，发现吡喹酮对治疗这种寄生虫病非常有效。
