摘      要：Background:Dense exudate during the calcification of cerebral cysticercosis in basal subarachnoid space was easy to be misdiagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH);clinical evaluation and MRI can help differentiate SAH from *** presentation:A case of ventricular expansion accompanied by high-density shadows in cisterna circinata cerebri was taken to the hospital for treatment due to sudden *** patient was diagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage according to computed tomography(CT)in another *** believe that the high density in cisterna circinata cerebri was misdiagnosed as subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)1 year *** main etiology of SAH is aneurysm;non-aneurysmal SAH associated with cerebral cysticercosis is extremely *** 5 patients have been ***:This case indicated that although the specificity of CT for SAH is very high,the physicians should be aware of rare false positive findings,called pseudo-SAH.
