A Worm’s Tale or Why to Avoid the Raccoon Latrine: A Case of Baylisascaris procyonis Meningoencephalitis

Figure 2

MRI obtained 10 days after admission demonstrating mild progression in diffuse white matter T2 FLAIR hyperintensity (a–c) with slightly increased involvement of the left lateral thalamus (arrow in (b)). Previously noted punctiform enhancement in the supratentorial periventricular white matter has nearly resolved with minimal residual curvilinear enhancement, possibly vessels (arrows in (d)). Small curvilinear enhancement is again seen in the left thalamus (arrow in (e)). Prior curvilinear enhancement in the cerebellum had resolved with interval development of few new punctiform cerebellar enhancing foci (arrows in (f)).
