Geraldo José Ribeiro Dantas Furtado

Abstract


In this article the epidemiology, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of three infectious and parasitic diseases of the Central Nervous System- neurocysticercosis, tuberculosis and brain abscess are reviewed. The choice for these pathologies was due to the fact that they are possibly the most frequent ones in the pediatric neurosurgery practices in Brazil.
