title: Racemose cysticercosis: novel demonstration of a rare condition.
abstract: A case of cisternal cysticercosis (racemose type) is presented which was well demonstrated on MRI by intrathecal administration of gadodiamide (gadolinium DTPA-BMD). The cysts appeared as multiple filling defects within an opacified cerebrospinal fluid. The authors believe that this is the first time that cisternal cysticercosis has been demonstrated using this technique.
