My sister had a headache for a few days, on the mri they found three cysts, two are about 1cm long and one is 3cm long, she cheked up everything and the doctors said that its 90% that its not a cancer, they thought that its cysticercosis but elisa test show negative, they dont want to operate cause they dont know what has caused the cysts. I want to know if any one has an idea about what can it be? She is lying in hospital for a month and nothing has done at all to get her better. The recent head scan shows that cysts are not geting smaller, even after a strong antibiotic therapy. Please someone...

Thx
