Abstract:
Five cases of cerebral paragonimiasis presenting with hemianopsia, convulsion, and gait disturbance are discussed. The cases were all in the chronic stage. The intradermal paragonimiasis reaction, complement fixation, and Ouchterlony tests were not useful for diagnosis. Computed tomography demonstrated calcifications in all cases in sites consistent with the foci of symptoms. Surgical treatment in two cases failed to improve symptoms.
