Three cases of multilocular parasitic brain cysts are presented; two cases of specific form of neurocysticercosis and one case of multilocular hydatid cyst. MRI shows features seen in other cystic lesions of the CNS. In all cases the diagnosis was established by neurosurgical brain biopsy. The authors indicate that the parasitic disease should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of tumor-like cystic brain lesions.
