Abstract
Solitary cerebral cysticercus granuloma (SCCG) is one of the commonest causes of seizures in Indian patients. SCCG has been confused in the past with tuberculomas, but by applying a set of diagnostic criteria proposed by the author, they can be diagnosed accurately in the vast majority of patients. Patients with SCCG are managed effectively with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). The role of cysticidal drugs in their management is controversial. SCCG resolves spontaneously at a variable rate and has a good seizure outcome, with >90% of patients remaining seizure free after discontinuation of AEDs.
