MRI findings of intracranial lesions at baseline and follow-up assessments. Axial T2-weighted (A) and T1-weighted (B) magnetic resonance images before antiparasitic treatment showed massive cystic lesions with the so-called “hole-with-dot” appearance, indicating viable cysticercus with eccentric scolex, which has been regarded as pathognomonic characteristic of neurocysticercosis. C: Contrast-enhanced MRI image of the eyes of the patient which also showed some intracranial lesions before antiparasitic treatment. D: Brain axial T2-weighted MRI image two months after antiparasitic treatment demonstrated resolution of most intracranial cystic lesions. E: Brain CT scan six months after antiparasitic therapy showed very few residual calcifications
