Abstract: with both short-TR and long-TR pul se sequences. Around these lesions, widespread T1- and T2-prolonged areas were distinctively shown in the ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere. The widening of cortical sulci in the associated hemisphere was clearly demonstrated on T1 weighted images. A left temporooccipital craniotomy was performed. Two granu lomas with smooth surfaces were removed. The incised cortex and subcortex around the lesions were yellowish brown, suggestive of gliosis. Representative microscopic sections of the granulomas showed many Paragonimus ova along the inner aspect of the capsule, which consisted of collagenous connective tissue. Many of the ova consisted only of a shell without a yolk (Fig. 1 F). Since multiple small lesions were present anteromedial to the nodules, the patient was treated with BithionoP The postoperative course was uneventful.
