ABSTRACT
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common parasitic condition of the central nervous system in certain parts of the world. The racemose variety of NCC is distinct from the commonly seen parenchymal form. It frequently infiltrates the basal cisterns and Sylvian fissures. Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis; however, as their signal intensity is similar to cerebrospinal fluid and due to the absence of enhancement in most cases, imaging diagnosis is often difficult on the conventional MRI sequences. Here, we present five cases of racemose NCC to emphasize the importance of a heavily T2-weighted sequence (Fast Imaging Employing Steady-state Acquisition) sequence in the diagnosing this entity.
