Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
OBJECTIVE: To highlight the sonographic appearances of cysticercosis involving uncommon muscular sites. METHODS: Two patients with nodular swelling involving the tongue and maxillary region were examined with high-resolution sonography. RESULTS: Sonographic examination revealed an anechoic area with a small calcified scolex suggesting cysticercus infection. CONCLUSIONS: High-resolution sonography is a noninvasive and nonionizing imaging modality that plays an important role in establishing the diagnosis of cysticercosis. |
