[Study on diagnosis of atypical cerebral cysticercosis].

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of the results of serum immunological tests and brain CT image examinations of atypical cerebral cysticercosis patients, so as to provide the reference for improving the diagnosis of the disease.

Methods: Totally 446 suspected cerebral cysticercosis patients were chosen as the study objects, all of them were given experimental treatment with praziquantel, and then the patients with atypical cerebral cysticercosis were diagnosed according to the treatment effect and review results of brain CT or MRI.
