title: MR imaging of intraventricular cysticercosis.
abstract: Three cases of cysticercosis with cysts located in the cerebral ventricles were studied with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This technique proved to be diagnostically superior to CT. In fact, MR can effectively replace metrizamide CT ventriculography in the detection of intraventricular cysticercosis.
