A rare case with intradural-extramedullary cysticercosis is presented here. MR imaging with and without gd-DTPA were performed. There were multiple cysts in the basal cistern, cisterna magna, and cervical subarachnoid space which were isointense with cerebrospinal fluid both on T2- and T1-weighted images, Swelling and increased signal intensity in the cord parenchyma were detected on T2-weighted images. Gadolinium enhanced studies showed rim-shaped enhancement in the cysts and irregular, diffuse enhancement in the meninges. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
