Magnetisation transfer magnetic resonance imaging demonstration of perilesional gliosis--relation with epilepsy in treated or healed neurocysticercosis.
We describe a case of healed neurocysticercosis with seizures, in which magnetisation transfer contrast showed a large area of presumed perilesional gliosis not visible on conventional spin echo magnetic resonance imaging.
