Abstract
The radiological findings in 37 cases of cerebral paragonimiasis were reviewed. In almost half of the cases calcifications of typical appearance were found. Further information about the localisation of the disease was obtained by means of pneumoencephalography, which also gave an impression of the severity of the brain atrophy usually associated with this disease. Carotid angiography proved valuable in those cases where pneumoencephalography was contraindicated, and where an attempt at encephalography gave no delineation of the cerebral ventricles.
