Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system that occurs in some geographic regions and is transmitted through contaminated food or by the fecal-oral route. Treatment depends on the degree of central nervous system involvement. Ventricular cysts require surgery. Parenchymal involvement requires systemic antiparasitic therapy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are used to image patients with neurocysticercosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is more sensitive for cerebral involvement than in computed tomography. Computed tomography is more sensitive to calcifications than is magnetic resonance imaging.
囊尾蚴病是一种中枢神经系统的寄生虫感染，发生于某些地理区域，通过受污染的食物或粪口途径传播。治疗取决于中枢神经系统受累的程度。脑室囊肿需要手术治疗。实质受累需要全身性抗寄生虫治疗。计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）用于对神经囊尾蚴病患者进行成像。磁共振成像对脑部受累的敏感性高于计算机断层扫描。计算机断层扫描对钙化的敏感性高于磁共振成像。
