A case of a 56-year-old Korean @entity1 with @entity6583 was reported. This case demonstrated the first successful treatment with @entity2039 in Japan and also the usefulness of a low-dose regime in the treatment of @entity6583 . The @entity1 was admitted to our hospital with a 7 years history of generalized @entity410 and a 6 months history of gait disturbance. He had 6 subcutaneous nodules. A CT scan of the brain showed @entity45 containing a small calcification and the largest lesion measured 5 cm in diameter in the cerebellar vermis. Posterior fossa craniectomy was performed and the cyst was pathologically confirmed as @entity3993 . A month postoperatively the @entity1 was given @entity2039 50 mg/kg body weight in 3 divided doses per day. But medication with @entity2039 was stopped on the 5th day because of severe @entity10 , @entity390 and @entity391 . He was readmitted 6 months later with appearance of gait disturbance, left facial paresis and @entity1282 . A CT scan revealed enlargement of some of the residual cysts. The @entity1 was then given smaller doses of @entity2039 8 mg/kg body weight in 3 divided doses with steroid cover for 48 days. He experienced no side effect during the therapy and became free from the neurological symptoms. A CT scan showed complete disappearance and only numerous small calcifications of the cysts.
