Abstract
A patient with cerebral Schistosoma mansoni schistosomiasis is described. The infection presented as a cerebral tumor, and the patient did not have the usual hepatic or intestinal symptoms of this disease. The computed tomography (CT) findings in histologically proven cerebral schistosomiasis are reported. The pathological CT findings developed at a late stage of the disease, and the CT scans were normal at a time when the EEG recordings were pathological.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
