Abstract
Neuro-cysticercosis (NCC) and Japanese encephalitis (JE) are common in
tropical countries. Two cases of NCC with coexistent JE are presented,
which share same socio-demographic and ecologic factors and have the
same intermediate host (pig). Patients were on treatment for NCC and
presented in comatose state. Sudden clinical deterioration of a patient
with NCC should warrant a search for coexistent JE. We report findings
of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion-weighted imaging of
the JE
