[Abstract] Cerebral alveolar echinococcosis (CAE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by echinococcus multilocularis on animal and then transmits to human, which is common in Qinghai, Xinjiang province and other areas. However, because the imaging manifestations of CAE are not typical and the forms are complex and diverse, it is difficult to distinguish it from brain metastases, glioma, tuberculomas and other diseases, which increases the misdiagnosis rate before operation. This article reviews the clinical application of multimodal MRI technology in the differential diagnosis, evaluation of curative effect, and guidance of the scope of surgery of CAE in order to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.
