Comparison has been made to the previously obtained CT scan. Scattered throughout all parts of the brain are innumerable small rounded predominantly cystic lesions that measure approximately 5 mm in diameter, and contain eccentric nodule. They demonstrate widespread faint peripheral enhancement as well as some intrinsic high T1 signal of the central nodule, in keeping with the calcification seen on CT. There is essentially no oedema surrounding any of these lesions, and no convincing evidence of intraventricular or subarachnoid disease. The remainder of the brain is unremarkable.
Conclusion: Features are consistent with neurocysticercosis, with lesions being in the granular nodular stage, with some already at the calcified nodular stage. The number of lesions present in this patient is consistent with its origin from a region where silicosis is endemic.
