Abstract

We report a patient with seizures and a single ringlike enhancing lesion on MRI that resembled a low-grade glioma. The patient received a diagnostic trial with albendazole on the assumption that this lesion could be a cysticercus. Follow-up showed resolution of the brain lesion in 4 weeks. Albendazole administration to patients with single ringlike enhancing lesions may obviate unnecessary surgical procedures in selected cases.

摘要

我们报告了一名患有癫痫发作且磁共振成像（MRI）上有单个环状强化病灶的患者，该病灶类似低度胶质瘤。鉴于该病灶可能是囊尾蚴，患者接受了阿苯达唑诊断性试验。随访显示脑病灶在4周内消退。对有单个环状强化病灶的患者给予阿苯达唑治疗，在某些病例中可能避免不必要的手术。
