Abstract
Article abstract-We performed in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in a patient who had an intracranial hydatid cyst. Besides lactate, alanine, and acetate, a large resonance for pyruvate was observed. These findings were further confirmed by ex vivo high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of the evacuated cyst fluid, as well as of the fluid aspirated from a cyst in the liver of the same patient. The MRS pattern appeared different from that seen in other cystic lesions of the CNS. In vivo MRS may be used as an adjunct to imaging in the diagnosis of intracranial hydatid cysts. It may also have a role in monitoring drug therapy.NEUROLOGY 1995;45: 562-564
