Well, considering your description you are probably talking about echinoccous which is a parasite that may be present in liver or brain. IF it is death then it can be clearly seen on ct scan and in this case there is no danger of further damage. But if this is still alive then this dager exist. In every case, if this is located deep in brain tissue, it should not be surgically removed since this could be too risky.
