A case of cerebral cysticercosis is reported in a 49-year-old female who presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting. Lumbar CSF showed the findings of mild aseptic meningitis. CT scan revealed an enlargement of the left ambient cistern and a small cystic lesion in the left frontal cortex. MRI demonstrated multilobular cysts in the left ambient cistern with enhancement of their capsules, which compressed and distorted the midbrain. The cysts were surgically excised, and histological examination of the specimen disclosed characteristic features of cysticercus with viable larva. An excellent value of MRI in the diagnosis of intracisternal cysticercosis is emphasized.
