Early CT Reevaluation after Empiric Praziquantel Therapy in Neurocysticercosis
Neurol 39:739-741, Rawlings,D.,et al, 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Neurocysticercosis can be difficult to diagnose in patients with negative serologic studies and single parenchymal cysts.To avoid surgical intervention,we empirically administered praziquantel to 2 children with isolated cysts and observed complete resolution of the lesions within 1 month after treatment.Early CT reevaluation following empiric praziquantel therapy can be an effective tool in the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis in patient with single parenchymal lesions.
