Abstract

This report describes the first case involving a second reactivation of neurocysticercosis. There was peripheral enhancement and surrounding edema at multiple calcified lesions in both cerebral hemispheres on the brain MRI. One must be aware of the possibility of reactivation of neurocysticercosis to make the correct diagnosis.

신경낭미충증은 비교적 흔한 뇌신경계 기생충감염 질환으로 재활성화를 보이지 않는 것으로 알려져 있다. 신경낭미충증으로 진단된 환자의 추적관찰 MRI 영상에서 석회화주위 뇌실질의 조영증강과 부종을 보여 재활성화로 판단되었다. 이에 본 저자들은 두 차례에 걸쳐 재활성화한 신경낭미충증에 대한 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
