Abstract
- We present two cases of cerebral paragonimiasis in a 23-year-old Korean army soldier and in a 18-year-old Korean girl, respectively. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical, laboratory and x-ray findings, and was confirmed by the histopathological examination of the excised cyst. P.W. skin test showed positive reaction, whereas C.S. test negative. X-ray study on skull revealed multiple globulated round cystic formations in occipital region. Two months after surgical removal of cysts, visual field were not improved. Pertinent literatures are reviewed.
