MRI and in vivo proton MR spectroscopy in a racemose cysticercal cyst of the brain

P N Jayakumar et al. Neuroradiology. 2004 Jan.

Abstract

Racemose cysticercal cyst is the subarachnoid manifestation of the larvae of Taenia solium. On MRI the cysts may resemble other cystic masses. We report the magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) features of a case on in vivo proton spectroscopy and discuss its role in the diagnosis of intracranial cysts of parasitic aetiology.
