Abstract
- Sparganosis of the brain is very rare and surgical disease. Clinical experience with a case of parasitic cyst from sparganosis in cerebellopontine angle was reported with review of the literatures. A 55-year-old male had suffered from vertigo and left hearing disturbance. C-T scan revealed well demarcated cystic lesion with rim enhancement in cerebellopontine angle. Retromastoid craniectomy was performed. The parasitic cyst and adhered granuation tissues on the surrounding area were removed using surgical microscope.
