head MRI scan during three hospital stays and 1 year follow-up. a-d T1WI + FLAIR+contrast enhancement MRI on 4 occasions; A1-D1 T2WI; A2-D2 T2WI + FLAIR; A3-D3 sagittal T1WI + FLAIR+contrast enhancement. A. A3 shows MRI scan during the first hospital stay in January 2016. T1WI with arrowhead shows horseshoe lesion with short signal and irregular enhancement. Both T2WI and T2WI + FLAIR have long signals. B.B3 shows MRI scan in March 2016 showing veil-like long T1 and long T2 signals in the parietal lobe with obvious enhancement. This is considered to be the dead parasite bodies after deworming treatment. Tunnel sign caused by parasite migration is shown in B3 with arrow. C.C3 shows MRI scan in July 2016. The arrow indicates few spot enhancements in T1 + C with minimum lesion present. D.D4 shows MRI scan in the first-year follow-up in December 2016. No obvious abnormal lesions were seen
