Computed tomographic findings in ovine coenurosis

Vet Radiol Ultrasound. 1999 Sep-Oct;40(5):441-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1740-8261.1999.tb00372.x.

Abstract

Computed tomographic imaging was conducted in twenty ewes with cerebral coenurosis. CT imaging allowed precise evaluation of the size and location of the cyst, which appeared as a hypoattenuating structure with a mass effect. No meaningful correlation between clinical signs and the location of parasitic cyst was detected.
