A 33-year-old male patient was admitted to the clinic with seizures and progressive neurologic symptoms. In the family history of the patient, a first degree relative had a history of hydatid cyst surgery. Cranial computed tomography images showed intracranial cysts and calcifications. Thus, it was suspected that it might be hydatid cyst. However, the patient was diagnosed with leukoencephalopathy with intracranial calcifications and cysts, a rare neurologic entity by advanced radiologic imaging, serologic and pathologic evaluation.
