Unique Linear and Nodular MR Enhancement Pattern in Schistosomiasis of the Central Nervous System AJR 177:1471-1474, Sanelli,P.C.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR images in all three patients CNS schistosomiasis revealed a central linear enhancement surrounded by multiple enhancing punctate nodules, forming an "arborized" appearance. Pathologically, this enhancement p attern correlated with a host granulomatous response to Schistosoma species ova. Although the pattern is not present in all cases of CNS schistosomiasis, when it is observed, a diagnosis of CNS schistosomiasis should be considered.
