Abstract
We report calcification of intracranial vessels in neurocysticercosis. Calc ification was observed in the middle cerebral arteries in two patients, and the circle of Willis in two others. The patients with middle cerebral arte ry calcification underwent CT with inhaled stable xenon and an area of mild hypoperfusion was observed in the ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere.
