Abstract :
Neurocysticercosis is the commonest central nervous system parasitic disease worldwide but cysticercal meningoencephalitis without parenchymal cysticercal granulomatous lesions is a rare entity. Here we are reporting radiological features of cysticercal meningoencephalitis in a 6 year old boy, who was admitted to our hospital with history of fever and headache since last three months and recently developed right sided weakness. Cereospinal fluid analysis of the patient showed eosinophilia with multiple bilateral cereal hemispheric lesions at magnetic resonance imaging. Enzyme immune assay demonstrated IgG cyscticercosis antibody in serum. Improvement in clinical and laboratory results was achieved using albendazole and corticosteroids.
