## Purpose: To examine whether all the histopathologically seen features of cysticercus cysts excised from brain of swine naturally infected with neurocysticercosis during its evolution are actually visible on magnetic resonance imaging (mri). ## Materials and methods: Five swine naturally infect

โฆ Synopsis
CT and MR images of 32 patients with neurocysticercosis were correlated with pathomorphology. Gross morphological features of cystic larvae, complex arachnoid cysts, granulomatous abscesses, basal meningitis and mineralised nodules correlated closely with the images obtained, especially on MR, where resolution permitted visualisation of larval protoscolices. Our material indicates three forms of the natural history of neurocysticercosis related chiefly to anatomic location, and provides details of the evolution of large, complex arachnoid cysts.
