Myocardial cysticercosis detected by ultrafast CT.
Cysticercosis can affect any organ of the body although central nervous system manifestations are the most common. Cysticercosis involving the myocardium is extremely rare and is usually diagnosed postmortem. We report a case of cysticercosis involving the myocardium diagnosed antemortem using ultrafast CT.
