Cerebral schistosomiasis: MR and CT appearance

After returning from Africa, a 54-year-old man began to have episodes of headache and nausea, then a cerebral convulsion. Clinical and laboratory findings and response to chemotherapy indicated the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis. Three lesions were seen on CT and MR studies: two appeared to be subacute intracerebral hematomas, one in the right parietal lobe and one in the frontal lobe; the third lesion, in the cortex of the left occipital lobe, appeared to be a cyst. These lesions could represent small granulomatous tissue reactions with secondary hemorrhages.
