A 20-year-old man presented with generalized tonic-clonic seizures. MRI showed a frontal ring-enhancing lesion with scolex suggesting neurocysticercosis (figure 1). Peculiar-appearing scalp with wavy pattern and intervening bright projections was noted (figures 1 and 2). This iron cutter in a welding factory fell unconscious at work following the seizure. Ferromagnetic dust in his hair caused the susceptibility artifact. Iron oxide produced similar results in a boy using beeswax1 and an African woman using clay2 to style their hair. Radiographic screening prior to MRI is suggested to prevent eye injury from iron particles in professionals involved with metal work.
