CTICasesDisseminated Neurocysticercosis
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph shows multiple tiny, calcified 'rice-grain' or cigar-shaped densities oriented along the skeletal muscle fibers in the neck and chest wall. Brain MRI shows multiple cystic lesions in the ventricles and parenchyma, consistent with neurocysticercosis.
Key takeaways
Disseminated cysticercosis (Taenia solium) leads to cystic lesions in the brain (neurocysticercosis) and widespread calcified larvae within skeletal muscles, presenting as classic rice-grain calcifications on radiographs.
