CTICasesDisseminated Muscular Cysticercosis
Imaging findings
Abdominal CT shows multiple calcified rice-grain and cigar-shaped calcifications oriented parallel to the skeletal muscle fibers in the abdominal wall and neck, representing old, inactive cysticercosis.
Key takeaways
Cysticercosis can manifest with characteristic rice-grain calcifications within skeletal muscle. These calcifications represent dead, calcified cysticerci and are oriented along the direction of muscle fibers.
