In the last part of this three-part review of parasitic infections of the central nervous system in children, we consider parasites which due to their size, distribution, or the nature of the host response, tend to cause focal lesions in the brain and spinal cord and therefore present as space-occupying lesions which occasionally mimic malignant tumors. As in Parts I and II, infections are grouped according to their predominant geographic area. Such infections include cysticercosis, one of the more common and important infections of the central nervous system. (J Child Neurol 1995; 10:177-190).
