Parasitic diseases involving brain and orbit are relatively rare in Tunisia; the most frequently encountered is the hydatid cyst, 55 examples of which were seen since CT scanning was introduced into Tunisia 2 years ago. Various aspects of the intracerebral and orbital hydatid cysts are reported and a tentative classification is made based on characteristics revealed by CT.
We report radiological features of a biopsy-proven early infantile form of Nasu-Hakoka disease in two Tunisian sisters with new bony and cerebral findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
