Cysticercosis is a parasitic disease in which man serves as the intermediate host of Taenia Solium, the Pork tapeworm. The computed tomographic findings fo 25 cases of intracerebral cysticercosis proven by pathologic and/or clinical findings during past 2 years were analysed. The results were as follow : 1. The sex distribution was 19 males and 6 females and 56 percent of the patients were seen in fourth and fifth decades. Th most common symptom was epilepsy(72%). 2. The C.T. findings in precontrast study were varied ; such as ill definded low density (48%) , cystic low density (20%), dilated ventricles (20%), ill defined low density with isodense nodule (18%), cystic low density with isodense mural nodule (12%), and calcification(8%). 3. The areas of involvement were 20 cases (80%) of parenchymal form, 3 cases(12%) of ventricular form and 2 cases (8%) of mixed form. 4. the contrast-enhanced 13 cases were 5 nodular, 5 ring or rim-like and 3 mixed type enhancement , while 12 ases were not enhanced. 5. C.T scan demonstrated more precise location and extents of cerebral cysticercosis, especially in parenchymal form. It was considered to be important in determination of surgical feasibility and its approach.
