MR spectroscopy findings in a case of neurocysticercosis are presented. A combination of elevated lactate, alanine, succinate, and choline levels and reduced levels of N -acetylaspartate and creatine in a cystic intraaxial lesion in the brain helped in characterizing the lesion. To our knowledge, the short echo point resolved spectroscopic sequence (PRESS) spectrum of neurocysticercosis, as described in our case, has not been reported before.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
