Cysticercosis is endemic in India. Neurocysticercosis most commonly affects the brain parenchyma, which presents as focal lesions with the surrounding edema which later calcify. Rarely, it may affect the ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces and this form is known as racemose cysticercosis. We present magnetic resonance findings in a case of racemose cysticercosis.
囊尾蚴病在印度呈地方性流行。神经囊尾蚴病最常累及脑实质,表现为局灶性病变并伴有周围水肿,随后发生钙化。该病极少累及脑室系统和蛛网膜下腔,这种形式被称为葡萄状囊尾蚴病。我们报告了一例葡萄状囊尾蚴病的磁共振成像表现。
