Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in study of subarachnoid neurocysticercosis caused by larval-stage Taenia crassiceps tapeworm, Slovenia. Imaging shows pathological signal enhancement at the site of inflammation after contrast administration (white arrows) and a dilated ventricular system (hydrocephalus) as a result of impaired cerebrospinal fluid drainage in the right basal cisterns (A), right parapontine basal cistern (B), and right pontocerebellar angle (C).
