ABSTRACT
Cysticercosis is a relatively common disease in Korea. Racemose cysticercosis, a peculiar form of the neurocysticercosis usually occurs as meningeal forms and rarely involves the cerebral parenchyme. The authors present a case of cerebral parenchymal racemose cysticercosis in a 55 year-old man with generalized seizure. Brain CT and MRI showed a large multilobulated cyst in the right frontal lobe. At surgery, we removed cyst covered by milkish white, multiple septated membranes completely. Histological dignosis of surgical specimen was racemose cysticercosis without scolex.
