Fig 1.
Neuroimaging characteristics of massive parenchymal brain cysticercosis.
(A) Unenhanced CT scan showing multiple hyperdense parenchymal brain calcifications. (B) T1-weighted MRI of a patient with heavy nonencephalitic NCC, showing multiple living brain cysts with an eccentric bright dot representing the scolex. There is no abnormal enhancement or parenchymal brain edema. (C) T2-weighted MRI of a patient with cysticercotic encephalitis. Multiple small inflamed cysts can be seen, with marked edema. CT, computerized tomography; NNC, neurocysticercosis.
