Fig 2. Twelve-year-old girl with coinfection of JE and NCC (patient 5). A, Axial T2-weighted MR imaging done on day 5 after onset of symptoms shows a left frontal cysticercus with T2 hyperintense perifocal edema (arrow). This lesion showed ring enhancement with edema on contrast enhanced CT (not shown). B, Axial T2-weighted MR imaging done on the same day as A shows a left thalamic lesion with mass effect (arrow). The substantia nigra were not involved in this stage (not shown). C and D, Axial T2-weighted MR imaging scans done on day 13 show involvement of both thalami (arrows in C) and both substantia nigra (arrows in D). E, Axial T2-weighted MR imaging done after 45 days of onset shows residual lesions in both substantia nigra (arrows). Residual lesions were also seen in both thalami at this stage (not shown).
