Abstract
The Teaching NeuroImage by Nie et al.1 is not of a cysticercus as mentioned by the authors; instead, it is a clear example of cystic hydatid disease, caused by infection with Echinococcus spp. A single, large, unilocular nonenhancing parenchymal brain cyst with well-defined borders and not surrounded by edema is fairly characteristic of this parasitic disease.2 In addition, scolices are clearly shown in surgical and histopathologic photographs.
