On the diagnostics of cerebral damage by nematodes
Abstract
11 cases of cerebral nematodoses were observed in 2014–2017 years. In all cases of nematodosis specific radiological signs tunnel and visualization of helmint were registered; in 9 of 11 cases, previously unknown sing «clew in cross-section» was observed. This sign may be considered as specific for neuroimaging diagnosis of cerebral nematodosis.
