Neuro cystecercosis (MR).

PROTOCOL:

T2W – Sagittal & axial scans

T1W – Axial scans

FLAIR – Coronal scans

T2FFE (Gradient) – Axial scans

3D TOF MR angiography of the circle of Willis vessels and MIP reconstruction.

FINDINGS:

-Revealed:

·        A small single rounded lesion in the right frontal lobe with 8.3 mm diameter.

·        Ring enhancement after contrast injection with enhanced peripheral internal nodule.

-Brain Parenchyma shows normal grey white matter differentiation and signal intensities.  No focal mass lesion is seen.

-Lateral and third ventricles are normal in size and position. Septum is in midline.  There is no midline shift.

-Basal cisterns, cortical sulci and gyri are normal in appearance.

-Sella is normal in appearance.

-Corpus callosum shows normal MR morphology.

-Brain stem and cerebellum show normal signal intensities. 

-Fourth ventricle is normal in size and is midline in position.

OPINION:

·         In the light of the previously mentioned signs in addition to the nationality of the patient; picture is suggestive of neuro cysticercosis for clinical correlation.
