The patient was further planned for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck, which showed an ill-defined, lobulated lesion measuring 4.0 x 7.0 x 5.4 cm, in the right trapezius muscle at C6-T2 level (Fig. 3).
Magnetic resonance imaging neck sagittal image-T1. The lesion is isointense with mild diffusion restriction. Multiple ovoid figures suggestive of neurocysticercosis.
