Abstract

We present a patient with neurocysticercosis with spinal subarachnoid spread who presented with lower back pain and progressive numbness and weakness of the left leg. MRI of the spine simulated metastasis. MRI of the brain demonstrated a "bunch of grapes" appearance in the basal cisterns, characteristic of cysticercosis.
