Abstract:
Objective To analyze MRI manifestations of cerebral sparganosis and the diagnostic value of MRI.Methods MRI findings in 8 patients with proven cerebral sparganosis by pathological examination were reviewed.Results The lesions were hypointense on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI with edema of brain around the lesions.Most of the lesions were markedly enhanced with ring-type,nodules,tortous beaded shape or tortuous linear like worm past-enhanced scans.The location and shape of the lesions in 3 cases were changed on followed-up MRI.Conclusion There are some specific pathological findings in cerebral sparganosis.MRI is of important clinical value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cerebral sparganosis.
